I think this conflates the criticism of the idea of unitary and unstoppable technological progress with opposition to any and all technological progress.
Suggesting that a future without industrialization is morally tolerable does not imply opposition to “any and all” technological progress, but the amount of space left is very small. I don’t think they’re taking an opinion on the value of better fishhooks.

It is morally tenable under some moral codes but not others. That’s the point.
