I think that the flaw in your reasoning is that engineering cannot be
ethical or unethical. It is a methodology of organizing human and physical
resources in order to achieve certain goals, just a tool.

What if I say that making programmers responsible for language choices made
by *others* directly (by [mis-]management) and indirectly (through crippled
software developing market) is unethical too?
