So by that thinking if I write some software, because I do that professionally, whatever bad outcome that software has then I am not responsible for it?

What if I make software that gives all the technical details for how to make a nuclear/chemical/bio weapon and I make that available in every language, I'm in the clear for the consequences? Seriously???

The software companies started this process. They were the ones who made each questionable decision along the way. Doesn't matter how they make their money, they are responsible for the consequences of those decisions.

PS Maybe check your grammar next time you post.
