Well that's easy, because the statistics wouldn't paint the view they're trying to convey. Saying things are better now than they were 100 years ago is as useful as saying things are better than they were 3000 years ago, aka completely useless to say since when you compare to more recent times like 40 years ago you can point to how many things have gotten objectively worse.
We've made a lot of strides on social issues, but everything else? Lmao.
