Your view is that our environment does not affect our ability to prioritise?
I believe making conscious choices 24/7 is not within human ability, but we can structure our environment to help us make better choices, or (un)consciously structure it to make worse ones. These environments are structured/designed by ourselves and by others.
My intent is never to say that technology itself is to blame. But people use technology to influence each other. People are also influenced by the measurements and performance indicators placed upon them. These are often measured through technology, in the way that have we as humans have chosen to design the technology. Or other humans have chosen to design the technology that we are then expected to use in workplaces and societal contexts.
I don't believe adverse consequences are usually intended, but often difficult to walk back.
