I think you've confused being entirely risk adverse with human empathy.

The implication from the parent comment is that these individuals are going to go through some emotional strain.
My point - it's difficult for me to feel the same anxiety someone might feel in this situation when they equally ignored the risks of something that is easily identifiable. They very likely felt elated when they joined because the company was seen as cool, hip, and by all objective means is/was successful (valuation, # of users, etc).
Honestly, I don't. There is enough public information about the brash attitudes of this company's execs that anyone working for a company like this should know that the lowest level engineers working on a technical problem like this are eventually just going to get thrown under the bus.
I hope this is a lesson learned for smart and impressionable engineers about where to work.
