You didn't really answer their question...

The candle was a candle and an electric bulb was an electric bulb. One could do things the other was not capable of.

FSD however, is pretty close to what humans do. It's cost that's the difference.

If you want a more apt analogy, this us more like the invention of a household CFL bulb.

It's cheaper, it increases accessibility and quality in some dimensions, but it's not allowing you to do so much that was utterly impossible before.

The comment you replied to wasn't saying FSD enables nothing new but rather that saying stuff like "change how people go to the office" is rather odd when today right now you can pay people for "FSD" and we already did see the shift from it...
