AH rule on BiH (1878-1918) didn't improve much quality of life of local Christians compared with Ottoman period. It happened in the time of two Yugoslavias.
AH rule on BiH was typical colonial rule.

Bosnia in the last over half of millennium is part of bigger states mostly as colony or protectorate. 400 years was Ottoman colony, after that 40 years Austro-Hungarian colony. 1918-1992 it was part of Yugoslavia, minus period in WW2 when it was occupied by nazi Croatia. In the last 30 years it's formally independent but in essence protectorate of USA, and very non-functional country as every protectorate.

Root of whole Bosnian tragedy is Ottoman class-religious system.
Privileged Bosnian Muslims who exploit and opress their Christian cousins. And do that for 400 years.
No wonder Bosnian Serbs dispise them so much.
Being vlach as social status in Ottoman empire was a jack pot and the best position that Christian could get.
Non-vlach Christians were raya, as same as slaves.

I know. Serbia in early 20th century was still received migrants as during the 19th century (mostly Serbs from surrounding AH and Ottoman territories). Serbia of early 20th century was progressive country for Balkan standards.
The oldest Serbian emigration in USA from second half of 19th and early 20th century is from Austro-Hungarian territories (Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bay of Kotor, Lika, Dalmatia etc).
Descendants of that Serbian immigrants are americanized many generations ago, but still many of them are Orthodoxes https://www.eserbia.org/graveyards/jackson-california

Rural areas even in the Hungarian side of the empire were very underdeveloped and very few investments went to villages, thus Bosnian country side wasn't exceptionally mistreated by central authorities. However cities truly did flourish under the empire, architecture wise many of the iconic buildings that you find today in the former cities of the Empire were built in this Dualist period. I fully understand though why Bosnians today feel animosity for this period, since they were occupied.
"Unexpectedly aided by a fire that burned down a large part of the central city area (čaršija), architects and engineers who desired to modernize Sarajevo rushed to the city. The result was a unique blend of the remaining Ottoman city market and contemporary Western architecture. For the first time in centuries, the city significantly expanded outside its traditional borders. Much of the city's contemporary central municipality (Centar) was constructed during this period.
Architecture in Sarajevo quickly developed into a wide range of styles and buildings. The Cathedral of Sacred Heart, for example, was constructed using elements of neo-gothic and Romanesque architecture. The National Museum, Sarajevo brewery, and City Hall were also constructed during this period. Additionally, Austrian officials made Sarajevo the first city in this part of Europe to have a tramway."

Btw first known Serbian settler in USA was Đorđe Šagić (George Fisher), who was born in Székesfehérvár in the heart of Hungary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Fisher_(settler)
