I agree with your sentiment — I suppose I was implicitly presenting the bull case (or paradigmatic case) of cultural drift, wherein the future values are supported by future people but despised by their ancestors.
I think your example is closer to the familiar “Moloch” dynamic, where social and material technology leads to collective outcomes that are obviously undesirable to all involved. Moloch is certain to be an possible issue in any future world!
