Personally I have my own set of beliefs on the use of LLMs, but I think you're even more cynical than me. In any case, Planck's sentiment cuts both ways. It is not necessarily the case that some change necessitates progress, but of course we tend to point out progress over things that are neutral or regress, so that is a bias or fallacy in how we normally perceive progress. If tomorrow it was conclusively shown that LLMs have some meaningful upper bound, it would behoove LLM adorers to similarly be accepting of that disappointing news. It's fine and expected for people to display a variety of opinions on a topic. I just ask that we all strive to understand each other and promote collective progress, whether that means adopting or rejecting something.
