After about two weeks of any serious global disruption we are going back to the stone age.
It would be a miracle if the still operable pieces of tec and the people who know how to use them would have any chance at restarting anything before they broke down beyond repair.
The best places to be in the long term will be areas of extreme poverty because they are the only one operating without deep connections to the global system.
We can agree on all of that and still say it's worth while to be prepared for the worst.
So the disruption would need to be Global , serious, and last two weeks. I can think of a lot of situations that both have me wanting survival skills and prepping in place that also don't meet the 3 above criteria.
Lastly in a situation that meets all 3 criteria what harm would having survival skills and prepping in place do? I might not be able to restart society but at least I won't starve or freeze in the first winter.
I while my gear lasts will be able to live a relatively comfortable life.
