Putting aside for a second whether there's some truth to the stereotype or not, we truly live in strange times when description of a culture that values family life, the outdoors, good food and leisure over working at your phone at 2 am is automatically taken as an insult or provokes comparison to noble savages.

Putting aside for a second whether there's some truth to the stereotype or not, we truly live in strange times when description of a culture that values family life, the outdoors, good food and leisure over working at your phone at 2 am is automatically taken as an insult or provokes comparison to noble savages.
Please elaborate on how "maybe they don't need good infrastructure" can be taken positively. It is, at best, deeply patronizing.
The insult is in thinking that they somehow don't "need" material things just because they have so many other good things going in their life.
The person that doesn’t need modern infrastructure because they are at peace with nature is literally the noble savage
