It's about the geography: Continental cultures in agriculturally rich places don't crave disruption, don't have the mischievous nature that finds it amazing and beautiful to constantly surprise the world. This is a mentality that mainly comes from peninsulas and quasi-peninsulas (large islands near continents, or strips of land within continents isolated by geography on both sides) with mediocre agricultural resources.
I don't think that "craves disruption" is a good description of the West. Maybe a few CEOs who think that a bit of "creative disruption" will give them an opportunity to sell more stuff, but even their love of disruption tends to have very strict limits. (Just look at the James Damore case, for example -- regardless of the merits or demerits of his arguments, I don't think that firing him for making them is really consistent with a "craving for disruption" or a feeling that it's "amazing and beautiful to constantly surprise the world".) And of course, a lot of the rise in populism at the moment is due to a sense that things have been getting too disruptive and out-of-control recently, and a desire for someone to come along and slow everything down for a bit.
