Because complaining about "inequality" is currently high status.
Throughout much of recorded human history there were almost no complaints about inequality even though inequality was much worse then.
I also find it amusing how all the people, who normally complain that evolutionary psychologists don't take into account cultural differences, are offering gushing praise when confronted with ev-psych of which that is actually an accurate criticism.
If I understand this correctly, I mostly agree with your point. I think the post would have been improved and more focused if the discussion of ancestral environment were simply omitted.
