I think the point is that it's quite likely that we'll hit a stable population count in the next century or so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projections_of_population_growth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Projections_of_population_grow... Given that the mored developed countries have lower birth rates, sometimes even under 1, it doesn't seem far fetched. And when the population isn't growing, the fact that there's a hard limit doesn't seem so intimidating or noteworthy.

Now that's fair, but I disagree. Some of the fastest growing countries have very high populations (like India), and it makes the stagnant growth of some Nordic countries mathematically insignificant. I am personally skeptical that the largest countries will all see sustainable birth rates in the next few decades, which is when, by conservative projections, population will again start to rival global food production.
