It's really not about aggressive goals. OKRs are always tied to a single metric (in some cases secondary metrics exist, too). So if no one on the team has a strong ethical compass, the way that goal is reached is not a concern, the only thing that matters is reaching that goal. At every step the participating roles would bump the responsibility to think about the ethics of the proposed solution to the next role in the process. So at the end, no one cares or speaks up because the ethics are not embedded in any process, and are not included in OKRs.
