> Correct, the term "pronatalists" is in scare-quotes, suggesting that their belief/concern is fake. Or it's genuine, but almost completely trumped by other concerns, which I think is the more psychologically plausible explanation than conscious deception.

Or their belief is twisted: they're pronatalists, but not pro your natalism (e.g. they're really only interested in a master-race of SV founders reproducing).
