It's good. And the decision to have (or not have) kids is one of the few forms of power that the general population has over those in charge. If people are being squeezed out financially or have no hope for the future (e.g. environmental collapse), they may choose to opt out of reproduction.
It's bad for the 1% and good for everyone else including wildlife, nature and the planet.
Apparently endless growth is a good thing. How the planet is supposed to continue to provide and survive a continuous expansion of Homo sapiens is beyond me. The only way out is to decrease population growth and refactor the world economy away from endless growth.

Really, we should just work towards keeping the world population stable and bring everyone out of poverty
Not that we have to try particularly hard, things are stabilizing off by themselves
We're 8 billion people on the planet, we aren't running out anytime soon

Agreed. Feels like grief whenever I think about it knowing the current trajectory, to be honest.
If it becomes universal and is irreversible, then yes it would be a bad thing. The issue with the wild life annihilation is that it is occurring in the poorest parts of the world. What do we do to stop them? Invade, order them to just stay poor? Import the world's poorest into the wealthiest countries? Mass sterilization of the poor? All of those sound fascist AF.
