In other words it's Amazon and Google who are willingly help censors to avoid a bit of collateral damage during strikes.
It's like helping Assad to find targets where people with opposing views live.
The domain fronting could be set up in a way that doesn't spoof domains, and the risks would be exactly the same. The spoofing is a red herring. The issue is the mere idea that a censor would be unable to tell what domain a connection is for. The actual thing that puts people at risk is ridiculous to attack on a moral basis. It's the same as just existing in a crowd. Not grabbing someone to be your shield.
