One of my favorite random pieces of history: Lord Byron penned an (admittedly well-written) full-throated defense of Luddites, and was one of the most popular people to advocate destroying machines and slowing tech. http://www.luddites200.org.uk/LordByronspeech.html … Then he gave birth to Ada Lovelace.
That’s a pretty drastic downplay of the technological aspect. Automated looms allowed factories to employ less skilled laborers to get the same quality of work, rendering their training worthless. This was illegal because of the credentialing system, not for practical reasons.

So that’s like saying “I have nothing against Uber drivers I just think only people with taxi medallions should be able to drive,” which is, in effect, fighting against Uber/automated frames because of what they do to labor prices
