You shouldn't. At best, they are fellow travelers. At worst, they aren't accountable to you, and their incentive structure usually does not drive them to behave ethically towards you.
Execs aren't paid to lead, they are paid to deliver business value. Ethical leadership is often incidental or counterproductive to it.
In this case, the execs were paid to do everything possible to promote and grow the product. And that's what they did.
