I think at least some of this comes from the new environmental movement, which tends to be much more anti-human than pro-fixes. It's just another way of pulling up the ladder after climbing it, the same as people like to accuse homeowners of doing when they don't want to be crowded out of their neighborhoods. You can even find both in the same neighborhood/person -- you'll be looked at funny if you don't have a Prius parked in front of your multi-million dollar house right next to a protected forest that only you can access because there is no train and no parking.
