I know I'm being extreme her but just playing devil advocate here for a second and responding to your question regarding acceptance amount:

If you read it carefully you can see each one of them never truly felt they are at any blame till their last breadth. If as humanity some of us could be put in charge of putting fellow humans through gas chambers and treat it as "just another job", then I doubt some engineer at Facebook coding all day would have a guilty conscience.

Edit: I stand corrected - only FEW of these felt like they were at any fault at all.

"...each one of them never truly felt they are at any blame till their last breadth"

That's not accurate, even based on the link that you provided. That page explicitly states that 5 of the 24 in that table "expressed repentance" in the notes.
