What you're referring to is accelerating the decline in births, but as economies develop, people have fewer kids. You don't need to have 7 children expecting 2-4 to die from disease or war before reaching maturity. The decline started way back in the 1950s, which was during the booming economy in the USA.

It’s not about quality of life improving, it’s the opposite in effect.

I don't disagree. I already addressed that in the first sentence of my post.

The decline of childbirth didn't start with that, it is merely accelerated by it.
