People said this about every new convenience, such as email over physical mail, buying things online instead of in stores, etc. It's a tired argument.

You'd clearly never believe this but there's even an argument that cars are of dubious benefit to society. Personal/passenger cars mostly in that they've reshaped our entire civilized landscape to be inhumane and all the long-term and downstream health effects that that entails.
