The reason we developed agriculture wasn't to free up enslavers, but that was one of the earliest results. By allowing people to produce a surplus of food, spending your time taking food from others suddenly became workable as a career path- and you had time to build a system of control instead of just looking for food.

I maintain that every innovation is in the field of conservation. If it doesn't let you do more with less then it isn't an innovation, it's a failed experiment.
