$, like someone else has said, but I also would guess that many of the engineers do not have a clear idea of the overarching functionality of the application.

I'm sure internal communication about the product is extremely positive, with phrases like "improved law enforcement accuracy by XX%, decreased customer costs and time by YY," so some may truly believe they are doing something that everyone would agree is good.

Somehow I have a feeling that nearly all the engineers working on it have a clearer idea of the overarching function of the application than you do.
