Asking a few questions in response would be meaningful:
Do you ever write scripts to solve routine tasks so you don't have to do them over and over again?
Of course you do. Most ( not all ) of these examples are attempting to abstract a problem. In some cases they do that well in other cases they don't.
Have you upgraded your OS in the last 20 years?
Again, of course you have. Each of those upgrades have some useful and some not so useful things.
Did you upgrade your vehicle to a Tesla?
I can't answer this one but the same applies here. If you want to state "well yes because it helps the environment." My response would be simply a large number of auto advancements over the last 20-30 years makes the vast majority of that a reality for you.
So no, you will not stop attempts at progress. Some will win and others will become Studebakers but this is the activity that drives innovation.
