You do know that hot showers have been a thing for like two hundred years, right?

Kings and Queens absolutely had access to hot showers 100 years ago. And indoor plumbing, soap, groceries, etc. The car had been invented for nearly two decades!

Also dismissing crises/problems we face in the current times because technology is better than X years ago is an absolutely fallacious, childish take.
