It is generally a weird attitude to required "societal progress" from scientists. Neither the term "progress" is clearly defined and does not need to be, nor does science at all work on such principle. It is like asking artists what the benefit on society is, it does not make sense to ask that question in that context, because it is not about exploiting something for a moment in time for some purpose which is supposedly "progress".
