This is something I find rather strange as well. As a Marxist, one should be more than skeptical about the bourgeois ideology of their "civilsing mission" of spreading "progress" and "technology" treating them as reified objects rather than emergent properties of historical processes and social networks of production respectively.
Both of the latter (processes and networks) are things that the bourgeoise advances, but for its own uses and needs.
I cannot take any marxist seriously when they start drooling over the bouegeoise's attempts at creating a bourgeois paradise.
It's like some people get accused of being against "progress", to which they take great offense, so they start overcompensating.
