The issue is not so much that this particular group of people think about what is acceptable. It is that people who don't think that behavior like this is acceptable are significantly less likely to amass as much power. Not just that, but they are also less likely to be listened to, because they are not successful enough.

Being ethical is competitive disadvantage and we live in world that values winning over competition and having financial success way more then it values being ethical.
