Actually the vast majority were in a better place. All had access to education, health care, women were allowed to pursue a career, there was freedom of worship (no having limbs or heads lopped off for not converting) etc. Then along came the "Arab Spring" and the illusion of democracy (what a great success that's been) and hey presto people want an uprising which ends up in all out civil war. Now no-one is in a better place.
