because there is experience in the doing, it isn't about the outcome.

I agree with you on and I think it still boils down to the problem of being conditioned to want to make things easier for ourselves. Loving convenience, and choosing pursuing it at all cost, even to the detriment of moral standards and societal values.

But there is a difference between making something more convenient, and using something because it is more convenient, isn't there?

History has a lot to say about humans trying to make life easier and convenient for itself. So maybe what we have now is just a significance of how much work has been done in the past towards making life more convenient for us as a specie.
The main evil is the complacency that what we now have is good enough for us and in no way harming us. It's possible that human race may no more advance positively, even though we may still make progress but it is only going to more and more destructive to us as a society.
