Hm. The amount of starvation, disease and hardship in the old days are not to be wished on anyone. The world coming into communication has its upside too.
Granted, the New World suffered grievously by contact - an estimate 100M dead from diseases they were unequipped to handle. So there's that.
And also what's your alternative? For the different parts of the global never to come into contact?
You could throw shade at pretty much all human exploration because most of it was done to get more resources of some kind.
