As a counter arguement (not necessarily in the US context), commoners in say 1100 had it way worse than than commoners in 1900.

Yes, and it’s all relative to what we see and expect. There has been a general trend of improving living standards. However, since the boomer generation, there has been a continued rise in standards but their kids are the first, in the west, that didn’t necessarily have a step up in standards apart from technological advances. Food and shelter being huge and sanitation being effectively solved.
