Arguably that's a way of introducing it gradually to not cause society to collapse overnight. If it's still available to everyone in Utrecht that chooses to quit their job and pursue something closer to what they'd ideally like to do (assuming that they're not doing what they want to do), then it can still be a worthwhile experiment.
> place people on welfare on a living income
If they only give to people already on welfare, then it's not universal.
