Just one example of many, but the companies that make the CPUs you and all of use use every day, also supply to militaries.

I am unaware of any tech company that directly does physical warfare on the battlefield against humans.

As far as I know, Apple does not supply their chips for military use.

No, it’s just that I don’t want the money I spend to have blood on it. Trivially simple.
