I think you are hanging to the literal meaning of the expression they used instead of the metaphorical (aka the progress wouldn't have been achieved).

As a side note:

>It doesn't make any sense to talk about "losing" progress.

Haven't you (or someone you know) ever lost progress because of a power failure? ;)

Yes, I will accept your definition of losing progress.

I'm arguing that the progress will get achieved with or without the greedy actors, and possibly even in a "better" way, overall.
