Indeed, one might.

However,I couldn't quite relate your response to what I said. Never mind!

They might just. That's why one puts in caveats like "so often directed at material abundance which to me is spiritually negative.", which means "other cases are possible", along with an indication that it's an opinion.

Generalisations tend to be valid in general which doesn't mean every case (please note I said "tend"). It's a big subject. For instance, I'm forced to give my money away to people who claim to need it, through systems called tax and welfare. Short of writing an essay to cover every contingency, a qualified generalisation will have to do for now!
Cheers.
