It's not "universal" if you start tying it to stuff. There are many cases where people cannot work (recessions, disabilities, need to care for family members, etc). The incentive to work would still naturally be there (to get more than "basic" income). Also, everyone wants a purpose, even if you may not see it as useful; it is a human need.
