I wager "disruption" is also underpinning resentment towards gentrification in places like San Francisco.
The negative side of changing how industries and businesses work is that a lot of times those left behind has no more place to go.
Like the auto workers in Detroit or the steel workers in Pittsburgh. They committed to traditional hard work, their organization required hundreds of thousand of them for labor, to protect their interest and to maintain a fair and equitable trade of time/labor they established unions.
In turn the orgs provided care for them all their lives.
We don't have that anymore.
Instead the disruptions coming are just that. Disrupting normalcy and how the establishment are living.
Where do they go? Who is going to carry that burden? The government or the private industry that's capable of leveraging more with less, that's literally killing ways of life for many?
How do you maintain your moral compass in all this? Is this just the march of progress? Does it not bother you because that paycheck will make it better?
You can't stop the progress though. The only good outcome I see is that as technology eliminates more and more jobs, the tax burden goes up higher for the disrupters to pay the retirement for the disrupted.

Oddly your aurgument Sounds like a traditionalist argument for keeping slavery around in the 19th century.
Is "being protected from change" a fundamental human right?
Horses went to pasture after cars. Who are you in the future?
If you don't do it, someone else will.
Especially true in a (relatively) free society. Also see, "Parable of Fisherman" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6602351
