"I make my life more difficult because people in the past had difficult lives"?

How far do you apply this model? Passenger airbags in your automobile too?

Imagine comparing WhatsApp to airbags.

He didn't compare WhatsApp to airbags. A meta-statement S[X] was instantiated by antropodie with X=WhatsApp, and separately instantiated by missedthecue with X=airbags. So far there has not been any logical judgment relating the two, beyond them both being instantiations of S.

S is the target, not S[X] for either instantiation.
