The Council said that in the liturgical reform, nothing was to be changed unless it was for the true good of the people. The Council Fathers mandated

Yes, I believe that the Mass changes are in continuity with the past. The liturgical reform of VII was the product of the liturgical movement that began in the very early 1900’s and It happened organically… from the dialogue Mass of the early 1900’s, to the Easter Reforms of Pius XiI, to the reform of VII. It was a very linear reform

I agree completely with your post, but I think a case can be made that the Liturgical Movement actually started with Dom Prosper Guéranger, abbot of Solesmes, back in the mid-19th Century. From Wikipedia:

Guéranger is credited with reviving the Benedictine Order in France, and the implementation of the Tridentine Mass in France, though he is also regarded as the grandfather of the Liturgical Movement, which led to further reform of the Mass of the Roman Rite beyond its Tridentine form. The cause for his canonization is currently being studied by the Holy See, which has approved the title for him of Servant of God.
