It's not really about "better" in the sense of making your life "better" but "better" in the sense of making you more controllable and letting the people that run society be able to continue running it and profiting from it the most. If you're not part of that crowd you're mainly just a cog doing your job as required.

mechanized agriculture produces more food with less work than feudal agrarian society

TIL the earliest monarchs in sumer were just military leaders who declared temporary emergency powers but then didn't let go of those powers afterwards
