Eh, that's his goal...the only person who has the right to decide that is him. Hypothetically, How would you suggest working on a "more equitable and just system"? Any actions from you that we can imitate?
Fair enough, you're right, it's his life, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't call out predatory behaviour when we see it, even when the person themselves doesn't see any wrongdoing. One simple change would be to not give 40+ hours of their labour to companies like Meta and google, who operate solely for the profit of their shareholders, just because they have cool massage chairs and free food.
I'm sure for someone at his level of technical ability there are plenty companies that would offer him an internship that also don't actively make the world worse for many people, like facebook does. Or he could work to unionise and give more leverage to the workers at such companies, and then use that power to fight against some of facebooks more predatory business practices. Facebook, the company is nothing without it's developers, but the working class would not be nothing without facebook.
