Meh, shouldn't be so surprising should it? By your own admission, some things get better, but many aren't able to secure things that are deemed significant for a stable and healthy life.
Like woop-dee-doo I can access more information than ever, but it hasn't really helped me stay employed for longer than 1 and a half years, and it's mathematically extremely unlikely I'll ever be able to stop working.

There is some good chance, given potential volumes, you misunderstood for people mistaking aggregates what could be instead people not referring to aggregates but to downfalls of civilization surrounding them.
Also, yeah sure, houses now are more expensive relative to salaries (mostly in cities but it's true generally).
However, in almost any other metric, we own a lot more, and have much more options to thrive, we are safer and healthier, and ultimately we're much much better off.
The world is getting better, and witnessing people deny this fact is depressing.
