With that proviso, the rest of this still works. People who want proof of their goodness to be good deeds want good deeds to be routine and easy, not difficult. So in an immiserated society you can do a good deed by handing an unhoused person a piece of money (rather than making it into a society where everyone is housed) and that's easy, rather than what you'd have to do to show goodness if everyone were housed.
