It doesn't matter how poorly the article articulates itself, when devs care more about the next round of investment, or simply being able to say "I work in a start-up" than if their idea is actually going to help people, then we are doing it wrong.
It is entirely understandable to appear as a Luddite when the people developing and pushing the technology have no regard for the wider societal impact of their creations.
