Consider rereading what I wrote. I'm not arguing against progress, and even directly mentioned progress is probably what we should be doing here, I'm just explaining part of why sometimes progress in cases like this feel like a mixed bag and to some people there is a very palpable sense of "disappointment" or "loss" to be felt here. That disappointment/loss isn't a reason to avoid progress, an argument against progress, but it is something to reflect upon as a culture because it tells us something about what we value and who we were.
