Is a rollercoaster a milestone in human development?
It's basically an amusement ride for rich folk. I know you can argue it's a stepping stone to bigger things, but that's stretching it. They went straight up and then came back down in ten minutes. This was already done 70 years ago.

When the corporations are as wealthy and powerful as many countries
it's hardly a solid argument

What's that even got to do with it?
You seem to be suggesting that because an company has the resources to achieve something previous beyond all companies, it's suddenly not an achievement?
The simple fact that some companies are as powerful as some governments is itself a milestone in human development, regardless of whether anyone thinks it's a good thing or not. Such milestones don't have to be things that are good, or right, or just.

they're not subjective, though that's just how I feel
