Well there is one major assumption error there - that negative real world consequences are only linked to negative ethics.

That is so wrong it isn't even funny. If the car was invented as powered by a Mr. Fusion the buggy whip makers going out of business would be a negative real world consequence.

Cars made us wealthier but they also contributed to obesity. It's not exactly clear if reducing obesity by banning cars is worth it.
