I'm very disturbed. The only reason you've got job and work for a company is that the company expects you can help it to make (more) money.

The things you've mentioned do help boosting income, for some companies only in short-term, for other companies even in long-term.

If your personal ethics are not OK with it, there are only two ethical things you can do about it. Either you design a UX that is equally efficient in terms of KPI, but conforms to your ethics, or you quit the job.

Remaining employed, receiving your paycheck, but working against the company and waving ethics codes around or quietly sabotaging boss' decisions is NOT ethical.
