Perhaps that view is correct, it is just that most of the people who subscribe to this philosophy are trying to solve different problems (e.g. to accrue wealth and power) while most of the people who abhor that attitude have effectively abdicated control over some of the most powerful tools to instigate change.
The reality is that you cannot change the behaviour of other people. All that you can do is add stimuli to encourage positive behaviours and remove stimuli that encourages negative behaviours. Technology is simply one of the tools in the toolbox.
