So much of what progressive liturgists used as their apologetic for the new Mass denigrated so much of the older Mass, including the role of the ordained priest, mysticism, reverence, etc. All of these things, seen by so many progressive liturgists as backwardism and contrary to the Holy Spirit today, are maintained in the Eastern Rites of the Church to this very day.
There has always been a certain kind of clericalist arrogance in the Latin Rite when compared to the Eastern Rites, although the ethos of the pre-Vatican II Mass and most Eastern Rites today is almost identical.
But progressive arrogance about the Modern Roman Missal is breathtaking especially their denigration by proxy of the Eastern Rites of the Church as well as Eastern Orthodoxy’s similar, in fact, identical liturgy.

Modernism at the Latin Mass
https://eucharistandmission.blogspot.com/2022/12/modernism-at-latin-mass.html
I think the Latin Mass attracts those who seek a spiritual life and answers to deepest questions, all contained in knowing God. Whether they will stay, when they find not much help in doing that at any typical parish, regardless of style Mass offered, remains to be seen. The days of the Church counting on ethnic/cultural ties maintaining membership, while offering not much in return, are finished in the West.
