It would be as antiquated as the lifestyle of the Amish.
Some people want to be Amish. It seems like your statement could just as well be “I’m not sure why anyone would want to be Amish” and I’m not sure that communicates anything useful.
On the one hand, as long as there are sufficient resources for some people to engage in Amish-like living while not depriving everyone else, that could be okay.
On the other hand, if the AI determines that a different way of being is much preferable to insistance on human traditions, then it has its infinite intelligence at its disposal to convince people to go along for the ride.
If the AI is barred both from modifying people or from using its intelligence to convince them, then still, at one point, resources become scarce, and for the benefit of everyone, the resource consumption of the refuseniks has to be optimized. I can envision a (to them) seamless transition where they continue living an Amish-like lifestyle in a simulation.
