Or maybe, while they certainly can and should think and talk about ethical implications of their work, just like everyone else, we as the public should pay far less attention to it. Because really, being able to "invert a binary tree on a whiteboard", which is the selection criteria for companies that have them working on the most "impactful" projects does NOT by itself make one's opinion on any ethical (or any other, really) matter more valid or important than that of a guy flipping your burger or bagging your groceries.

Especially when most of that moral posturing comes not to even leaving your company to work (at still a very comfortable salary, mind you!) somewhere else, but to protesting mostly minor and inconsequential (and to most of the country, if we're talking about SV and US, quite unobjectionable) things while happily working on projects that actually do have some pretty damning ethical implications (viz. pretty much any Google protest).
