Congrats on using your education to make the world a worse place

I don’t like it either but blame goes to the top of the org chart. That’s not illegal or, by the standards of the field, flagrantly unethical so it’s a bit extreme to expect someone to resign over.

Blame goes to everyone involved. From the decision makers to the implementors

Mostly lack of competition and anti-trust regulation. Who would use a worse service when a healthy alternative exists?

You were just following orders, that's a great argument

Keep thinking about the parallel you’re drawing and you might hit the difference: that phrase gained notoriety in the Nuremberg trials for murder but somehow we do not give the same weight to, say, a pushy salesman or a debt collector or a government employee enforcing strict means testing laws. Is it possible that our moral sense can account for things being less severe than murder and draw a distinction between actual Nazis and people doing what they can to survive in an unforgiving country with few supports?

I don’t know what standards you are referring to, but yea I would call it flagrantly unethical for sure.
