If you know you were being hired for one specific task shouldn’t you have talked about the fit before you start? I would say that is reasonable.
It's not always reasonable, because in the general case you don't know until later right? You discover the issues at some point when already working. Also you're implying that there is no economic dependence which is not always the case.

The ones who lie to keep their job are the ones who get called 'charlatan'. Seems fair.
except they are most likely only being asked if they can build X (which they can) and not if X is appropriate here. so at the most they are lying by omission, but more realistically they are opting not to become a whistleblower.
because the more likely situation is that the newly hired expert on X is the only one realizing that X is wrong for this case.
