It's still a huge and I mean huge physical achievement to have summited Mt. Everest. Sure, 1000s of people do it every year but it doesn't make it easier for you. Its the same when people decide to do anything that's been done before (open restaurants, have relationships, run marathons, etc.)
If you wanted to spin this constructively you could talk about how we could move more sherpa responsibility on to the climber or in a self-sustainable system. Nothing wrong with that but please don't generalize all Mt. Everest climbers to be rich assholes. For most people, it would be among the hardest thing that they did in their life. Also, generalizing everyone as evil is a fast way to lose audience with people with whom you want to bring about a change.
