We wish there was something like the Central Limit Theorem for philosophy, but moral philosophy, population ethics, utilitarianism, etc. create all these fraught impossibility theorems or paradoxes, and as technology improves, it’s hard to fault a lot of people for taking an instrumentally rational approach to materialism, and just feeling exhausted by the breadth of what you need to think about and the pedantic effort and risks required to act ethically in all the increasing interfaces with society.
