a veteran tech researcher I worked with told me this same thing happened when computer optimization started getting big. People used to say "see you will be able to write any problem as a cost function with a set of constraints and all jobs will be replaced with numerical algorithms". And I saw it myself being said about P2P networks in my era. Turns out peoples' interactions in society require social explanations and social interventions.
