Can you elaborate? For example, what is the end-goal of technological innovation? What's the end-goal of any job?
To me, the point of innovation is to make people's lives better. Growing pains, a temporary loss of one type of job, those are inevitable when talking about innovation. But people adapt, they get new jobs, sometimes enabled by the very innovations that displaced them in the first place. That's fine, that's the pattern in the world so far.
A blanket statement like this seems to say that progress for its own sake should be prioritized over the people said progress is supposed to help.
