> ... to whom?

To the people whose job it is to advocate for the privileges of the wealthy. And that is a frightening number of highly-trained, well-paid people.

They are starting with the foundational belief that taking any privileges whatsoever from the wealthy will end in complete catastrophe for all of society. This is, of course, not true, but it's a story that pays well to tell and re-tell. So, it gets told a lot, particularly here in the Anglosphere, and also apparently now in France.
