Why is Swiss Made better for ethics?

These are the same folks that looked the other way on Hitler (and in fact were his preferred banking location) and recently sold a phone with a backdoor while claiming it was private.

The Swiss are extremely systematic, which makes them great at banking, but ethical? Not sure about that.

I think the "swiss made" plays onto two ideas in this context: on the one side, Switzerland having a very advanced industry when it comes to precision technology / on the other side Switzerland being a neutral country of high diplomatic esteem.

But both of those tropes might very well be a little stuck in the last century imho.

It's just about a messenger, not saving humanity.
