I think a lot of tech, especially the internet, is actually returning us to a more ancestral way of living, but at a global scale. The past 400 years may end up being the true anomaly in hindsight.

Can the rate at which these metrics of quality improve exceed the rate at which they can be gamed? Anyways, I get what you mean. In olden days there was 1 inn/hotel. Then there were 1000s but without a way to rank them. Now we have millions but also a way to rank.
