Did anyone suggest it was? That seems like a very weak straw man of the very many sensible arguments from multiple angles, for why vast wealth inequality is a bad thing for society, including the members of the society with the extreme wealth but surrounded by poverty.

I think it exactly contradicts that:

Wealth gaps are a sign of wealthy societies — the question is wealth distribution, not distance from the lowest to highest.
