Lots of good things about the lockdown from the aspect of peace, quiet, nature, clean air, reduced light pollution, and more. It just comes at a cost that society isn’t willing to bear.

It looks like you may have misunderstood what I was saying. The polls pictured that linked to say America is united to defeat coronavirus even at such a high cost. My argument is that this price that nets us these wins of peace, quiet, reduced pollution, etc etc comes at a price that society would not sustain past this crisis.

Ah, sorry, I get it now. And I suspect you're right.
FWIW, my big hope is that we can reconfigure our economy to work without conflicting with those wins. (The climate is still changing, so we have to reconfigure anyway.)
