Some things are fine if done under the table, but aren’t fine if spoken out loud.

Arguably it's unacceptable either way, but only one of those ways can be evidenced in court.

From the way this article reads Zuck is being derided specifically for getting caught.

That's certainly true. But this is Cory Doctorow who invented the concept of enshittification. I'd be super surprised if he thought anti-competetive behaviour is fine as long as you get away with it. My take is that he's saying "Not only is Zuckerberg a greedy asshole, but he's even stupid enough to make it provable in court."

Probably with some shades of 'shameless' / "everybody I know is doing it, and if it's normal it can't be illegal" too.

It shows a certain arrogance. Some kind of too big to fail

I agree, I got the same impression when I was reading the article.

Correction: Some things are hard to prosecute if done under the table, and are not fine if spoken out loud :)

Ethics are essential in every decision, not because you can get in trouble legally, but because you are part of a society of people like you.

The problem is if money justify everything in the society where you live.

Then it becomes more imp to show people the right path. I've never found a society where money justifies everything, only people who have no ethics.
