It's also factual.
It's a real thing that happens, and telling a person a fact for their benefit is hardly destructive. That doesn't mean that one has to like the fact, but it's still there, and it would be worse to ignore it.
That's like saying we shouldn't tell people about how using more resources will result in a worsening environmental state; it's a grim fact, but it's still something that should be faced when making further decisions.
