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

I disagree, our space tech is made out of human wonder, not just for quality of life

Ah yes, I’m sure our ancestors never did anything out of wonder (ya know, like, exploration or anything)
They were nomads. First on land, then on the sea, and now the stars.
