It's been a point of contention within the disabled community for decades. You just don't know about these things.

I know I've heard the dialogue about it since day one I'm just shocked it took this long for this to hit the mainstream

That's fair, and there's certainly a weird overlap in the conversation between the people who view it as reducing suffering and those who view it as a cost reduction measure.

Or those who criticize capitalism with every breath they take but still support it in a capitalist society, like it won't be monetized and used as a weapon against the disabled and enemies of the state.
