I think you’re missing the point. It’s not that we haven’t made new technology. It’s that we’ve made new technology mostly to do the same things but better.

Everything we do is about achieving the same basic set of ends that we’ve always had. Live well, not die, etc

Very true! As a clinical child psychologist, I’ve often said 75% of my skill and ability to be helpful is who I was before I went to grad school and learned the theories and techniques of psychotherapy. Who I was, as a mature, patient, nonjudgmental, not make assumptions, kind of person. Grad school and training taught me how to Iisten better, tho, that’s for sure.

There's no distinction between the quality or composition of processed diets other than prescription diets being discussed as having an increased association. Prescription diets are only fed if there's an issue, so being fed a prescription diet as a puppy is a suggestion that there's a GI issue present before the diet is fed, and therefore there can't be a causal relationship like they are suggesting.

The wide range in quality and composition of different diets available should also be considered. They looked at the ingredient components of non-kibble diets but not the composition of kibble diets. If berries are considered protective then would a processed diet containing berries also be of benefit?
