I didn't propose taking anything away. I said that in my preferred possible world no one would be rich enough that they can individually afford such extravagances. I made no claim about this world, not did I outline how that state of affairs would have come about.

Did I touch a nerve or something?

It's focusing on the harm to specific individuals rather than any benefit, thus implying you consider that change a benefit in itself, rather than a necessary harm that enables some other benefit.

It's like Hillary Clinton saying she'd put coal miners out of business - it sounds hateful, regardless of the intent.
