>the doom and gloom never materialized
I mean, didn't it for some people? The church lost their ability to be the sole source of the bible once printing presses started churning out books. So the church lost a significant aspect of their influence on the public.
In effect when there are people screaming about societal changes it typically means they stand to lose some position of power they currently hold because of it.

It's not about a technology being able to displace power away from a specific organization or not. That's not an argument anyone was making here.
