That's fair, but don't sell them short. A 3d printed gun just killed a CEO. Ukrainian drones are using 3d printed parts to drop bombs.

Between that and the changed game for hobbyists, the world is meaningfully different.

Most world-changing inventions do so subtly. Atom bombs are the exception, not the rule.
