While people are (to varying degrees) generous, its hard to build everything on generosity and recirocity. On the other hand once you start bean counting and transactionaling everything and in particular not even accept different types of beans, out entire existence becomes the one-dimensional, money driven disaster it has become.
Many artists are really scared by what these apparently uncontrollable interests are unleashing. Who can blame them.
Some people here seem to worship "progress" as a new-age god, so they'd probably be chiding. Unfortunately for that crowd, moving fast and breaking things works well for them up until they break too many things, at which point everything breaks. It wouldn't surprise me if the story of the next few decades is the age of hubris finally falling flat.
