Progress is exponential. So looking in the past and saying we should be content with a 90% improvement is misleading, because it is dwarfed by how much more potential there is.

That exponential is based on the increase in number of people not farming. Graph the number of writers/scientists/engineers/etc over time and it’s an exponential, but population isn’t expanded exponentially any more.

The free ride feedback loop is ending very soon.
