        These appear to be sociology topics more so than computer science. HCI started as a field for how humans directly interact with machines (ex. new pointing devices). I guess scope has creeped substantially since then.

          HCI started as a field before the idea of "personal" computers was realized. Now most humans on earth have a computer in their pocket, often with constant access to a global network and infinite addictive feeds of content to consume. I wouldn't call it scope creep, it seems like a natural evolution.
