I'm not the author of the parent comment, but for me, it's about sustainability. We are destroying our planet and perhaps our future ability to support a population as large as it is today in the name of capitalism / consumerism / increased growth. We view it as a failure when we don't hit growth targets, but we live on a planet with finite resources. Eventually something has to give.
