Wat. You really don’t see any technology that created win-wins?

No such thing as a win-win. Just a lose we haven't come up with a name or explanation for yet.

"Destroying society" was itself a win-win in a lot of cases, given how many pre-industrial societies in Europe were literally feudalism before and who replaced it with democracy and liberty.

I think the total elimination of smallpox was pretty one-sided, too; this remains the case even despite people who look at vaccines skeptically, because such skepticism isn't the fault of vaccines.
