I think that's a great place to draw the line. Societal norms were established before we could do behaviour-type actions at economies of scale. And most of the ills that have been brought to society have been caused by consequences unintended precisely because we are still calibrated for human scales. If we had somehow ended up inventing cameras after computers, it's conceivable that we might have regulated them. Road laws were changed when we switched from horses to cars. The same framing as the parents comment might result in the argument: "Cars are exactly the same thing but faster, why change things?" But this time the machine processes themselves are controlling the way we talk about them.
