It is perfectly possible to see that we live in the best time humanity has ever lived in and be concerned that we’re are at risk of regressing. Especially with people claiming that any regression is simply not viewing things in a larger historical perspective.

The issue is that people are seeing progress as regression.

A micro$oft-backed megacorp hoovering up everyone else's work is not what I'd call progress.

Nope. People are concerned. There has been a million times when people recklessly and blindly did things without carefully examining the consequences leading to terrible results and human suffering. Some examples: DDT, Iraqi war, fast fashion, early usage of radioactive materials as medicine, asbestos, etc
