I still don't get how the Ethereum core devs can look themselves in the mirror after undoing the DAO hack.

All smart contracts are immutable, but some are more mutable than others.

Code is not law and never has been, consensus is law.

The Ethereum community (technically, node operators) as a majority decided to rollback the blockchain and it would have been impossible to do so otherwise. The community was tiny barely three months after launch and this would be much harder to orchestrate today.
