It is true that there is (at most) one status quo at a time. Further, I would expect the dominant morality of a particular moment to support the status quo, but that doesn’t imply that only one moral system is believed at any particular time.
I don’t know what you mean by asserting that there is only one status quo—it seems false. The status quo in France in 1788 wasn’t the same as the status quo in France in 1791.
Further, there’s nothing inherent in the concept of a morality that requires it agree that the current state of affairs is best. Mencius Moldbug has a morality, and he thinks the way western nations run their affairs is filled with nonsense.
Isn’t there only one status quo, and don’t all mainstream value systems function to maintain it? For better or worse.

Sure, one status quo at a time. But you didn’t label you didn’t label “status quo” with a time period, you labeled it with “bourgeois.”
