I cannot disagree with your conclusions above. However, there is one conclusion that could be included in your list, an optimistic conclusion:

People become more resourceful. When focused, that creativity can lead to change.

yes, people do become more resourceful,they always have.

what kind of resourcefulness are we talking about - some is creative, adaptive, and builds better

some is survival-driven, where people stretch less, accept less, and normalize conditions that should not be normal

both are happening at the same time

resourcefulness can lead to change - and also lead to endurance of systems that should have been forced to change

the tension matters
