>If we stop replicating those limitations, it's not unreasonable to expect that the social problem will change also.

This is called technological determinism and is not an accurate heuristic for how humanity adopts tools

Humans generally adopt tools broadly after the social environment allows it, not when the tool is capable. This has been shown over and over. Never has there existed a tool whose introduction was immediately and universally adopted.

There’s almost always a period of introduction, then decades of middling adoption and refinement, then the social climate changes and production adjusts enough to adopt en masse.

This was true for every major invention and is an artifact of human social structures

I don't see how these are incompatible views. Maybe it takes a decade, maybe it takes a century, maybe it doesn't happen at all... building the alternative remains the first step. Certainly no adoption is going to happen before the medium exists. Also we wouldn't be publishing articles like this one if there wasn't already some desire to change things.
