I agree with you, the charge holds about as much water as a colander. I feel much the same way about the charges against IBM and the Holocaust.

I somewhat disagree with you on that second part, since it sounds like (I haven't really looked into this, and I haven't read the book in question) IBM was indeed aware of the Third Reich's genocidal intentions, and that the systems IBM developed were indeed specifically designed for the processing of Jews and other targeted demographics.

I do agree that trying to single-out IBM for designing products of war is unfair to IBM when various companies have done that (and, in many cases, have done that exclusively) without any particular complaint.
