We never have this mentality for any other private property. Should the government be out telling art collectors that you're not allowed to alter or destroy every dingy old painting and must restore them? Classic cars must be kept in working condition? Clothing made by 19th century seamstresses can't be unsewn to reuse the fabric? The old gas station isn't allowed to be closed down? My garden has to have the same perennials every year? Companies aren't allowed to replace typewriters with computers? Perhaps industrialists aren't allowed to replace the saboteurs with machinery?
Society grows and improves because we allow for change and we allow ourselves to let go of the past.
