Actually, it reminds me of a particular class of gamer who is convinced that if you aren't constantly wallowing in how terrible the past was compared to now, you're not really playing an 'authentic' historical game. Of course, the people in the actual past have no such basis for comparison -- it's not as though people were mucking through the street filth on their way across town and wishing someone would get off their ass and build a sewer.
