So you are here to tell us that employees don't actually care as much as reported about the ethics implications of their work, and that leadership didn't actually meaningfully address the topic.

... is that meant to be a comment in defence of the company?

The comment is not really addressing the topic at hand, just how the article here makes bigger claims than it actually has data to prove.

Not addressing the topic at hand, preferring to discuss technical points is precisely the industry tend that concerns me.

This is a disingenuous statement. Given the common understanding that "software is eating the world," your suggestion is about as earnest as "you are perfectly welcome to find another planet."

No one cares about what trends concern any one person.
