The problem is that "bad" is subjective and I'm sure most of the people making these decisions don't agree that they are being "bad"

That's fair, but the 3 and 3a. is not about whether a decision is bad or not, but about attribution. It makes no sense to blame "technology" or engineers in news stories for being used in some way, but completely ignore the people who ordered and bankrolled it to be used in that way.

Why would anybody care what they think?
