I'd say it tracks more with the sort of (also kinda right-wing) culture that invented Soylent, whose creator was openly disdainful of the idea of enjoying food or creation for its own sake. An obsession with efficiency and productivity. So, blame the protestants.
That guy is terrible, and I get what you're saying. I will point out though, intentionally or not, Soylent was an actual useful accommodation for some ND and disabled people. Which people also say about LLMs, but is not the case. I am glad there are better options than Soylent now.
