I'm very much not an experienced engineer but I lean that way. I think the modern profit-above-all-else attitude of modern engineers comes from the whole "learn to code" movement and promises of a good paying job. These people aren't motivated by their passion for the craft but instead because it was seen as easy money

Hard not to be motivated by money when simply being alive requires so much of it. It's easy to be principled when your bills are paid.
