I wouldn't say it is dangerous, more like it is obvious. I very rarely agree with everything my company does and yet I don't feel put off by that. The world of total conformity is the really scary thing, we will cease to be humans by then.

This situation is different in that the people who are agreeing with what their company does are feeling afraid to voice their agreement.

The danger is that what people think and what people are willing to say are systematically diverging. If true, that means that anyone who's trying to observe what people think and make decisions based on it will consistently get things wrong.

That is kinda temporary, in normal companies mistakes get accountability and executives are fired. In the end, you can get on the "design by committee" trap.

The problem here might be the monopoly, so it doesn't matter how bad the decision there will be no repercussions.
