I think you missed the part where the person you are replying to is talking about the ethics of the platform itself, not the ethical viewpoint of the users using the platform nor the personal views of the developers.

Platforms don't have ethics. They're software, not people.

Software is shipped with a license. There are licenses that are more or less ethical.
