All the statements in that post are trade offs. In all cases you are sacrificing something to gain something else. Therefore in a way you are always "destroying" something.
Sometimes it is valid to not reinvent the wheel. Sometimes wheel needs to be reinvented to learn. Both actions are done. Sometimes the decision was right. Sometimes not.
Overall as a whole we are creating things, more than we are destroying. I don't see the need to take a negative stance.
