One could imagine that already with all the human loss we have lost some technology maybe for decades. Like some of those fallen to the hands of ruzzia could have been the only ones in the world who understood a particular scientific problem. There's probably technological loss already that will affect the world.
It's impossible to even guess at the progress that's been lost over millennia because of all the needless fighting that humanity perpetuates.
It's sad, really.
