You forget the hunting part. And caves were a not an all time thing, most had to follow the herds, or move to find game. You couldn't stay in the same cave without exhausting the resources.
But hunter gatherer societies had a more egalitarian society, and had a lot of free time. After agriculture took off, armed groups could force them to do stuff and make their lives tougher a lot easier.
Agriculture also happened as an on/off season thing, with groups being nomad for a season, then "settling" and planting for another. No point in keeping a land year-round when half of that time there's no actual land (underwater) or people around and the other half needs a lot of manpower to work it; manpower that is very ready to pack their shit and leave. There are many ways agriculture showed up and not all of them had an asshole bossing everyone while saying "MINE!"
