Blaming the engineers themselves?

They are the ones doing the work. They certainly have a choice not to.

The same engineers doing this in exchange for money, healthcare, etc to put food on their tables and provide for their families?

Not everyone has the ability to act on said 'choice' and risk their jobs, income, benefits.

Yeah, but you know what? Many of us do have choices and many actively do make those choices. Lets not pretend that we are struggling low paid workers whose families would starved if we changed the job or asked for reassignment.

Also, many unethical choices are made or advocated for by engineers themselves.

Yes, there's some that just want to work on different problems and want to just fix the puzzles.

But blanket blaming all of them and saying they all have a choice is not real. Any of them on visas? How would you feel about risking not just your job but also the ability to live somewhere.

You can't blanket blame all engineers and say they all have a choice.
