Your inference is unfounded by definition.
I don't see where artificial scarcity has anything to do with behavior, but instead recognizes an economic situation that exists whereby abundance is possible due to technology.
Through coercion and legal means, scarcity is created where abundance could otherwise exist, hence the scarcity is artificial in nature.
Any abuses/behaviors you allege are independent of the economic condition.
