Software engineers have ethics classes

We do?

It was required for my degree, I'm sure it is required at more than just my university lol

Your anecdote is not universal.

Sure, its not taught everywhere, it is still something discussed among peers and taught at some institutions. Otherwise, you wouldn't be seeing engineers doing walkouts and protesting companies decisions.

Not my university. Outside of the engineering classes and prequisites for engineering classes, we only had to take rhetoric and a foreign language.

That's disappointing to hear. Talked about ethics throughout my courses and one was half the class. Hopefully more professors and instructions sprinkle it in there at least.
