No, it’s an argument against removing rules / making changes without deeply understanding why those rules exist in the first place, and what might happen when they are removed.
It’s perfectly fine to be for progressive social changes, as long as those criteria are met.
I’d call that a pragmatic approach, not a conservative one.

That's likely how most of the middle see themselves (if not in those words) - open to new changes but only if they're fully understood and not drastic.
