I didn't say Lyft was better (though it seems clear from settled lawsuits and FTC fines and police reports that Uber is much worse) the takeaway is that engineers are responsible for the output of their employers.

Engineers used to understand that and would debate taking positions in the military industrial complex, and would discuss the ethics of whistleblowing.

Go through my comments the past few days and witness today's engineers basically saying "Uber has been good to me, I am not responsible for the other parts"

Why do you talk about 'engineers' as if they were a single mind? They've also been working on nuclear weapons for generations.
