Is there anything that only the rich can currently afford but that everyone will have in the future?

When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

I can already buy impossible beef at my supermarket, it’s not even that much more that regular beef. And most fast food places offer it as well.

Is it not? It’s literally grown in a lab. What is the difference?

It’s made from soy. Not grown in a lab.

Impossible beef is plant based. Lab grown meat is made from animal cells.
