I think in your example the evil villain set out to crush a man's spine, not to develop an exoskeleton to help people walk? And they are introduced upfront as an evil villain.

Wouldn't this be a more appropriate analogy:

If a person decides to will an exoskeleton into existence to help people walk, and builds a techno-capital machine capable of supporting the team necessary make it happen, is the act of building the exoskeleton not evil?

I think ignoring the villain portion of the analogy given the behavior of capitalist "magnates" is being overly generous.
