one thing I think people dont consider enough when looking at eg the ability of the Taliban to resist US force, or the Viet Cong, or whatever, in the context of the value of small arms is that the US did not adopt the tactic of "kill everyone until the fighting stops"

Part of me thinks you're bringing all this up because you anticipate someone, in some part of our currently "civilized" world, will eventually begin to employ that strategy. Yeah, it'll be terrible.

At the same time, technology is also what has made it more difficult. But yes, your basic point is sound—once read a paper called ~’counter-insurgency as military malpractice’; and the argument was basically this, that everyone knew how to do it but that it was unpalatable.

This is basically right, especially if you are talking civil conflict, which is always worse than normal interstate conflict. The response to rubes with AR-15's would be insane. But it goes both ways. Early IRA, FLN successes suggest killing anyone in uniform can work.
