It's a job. Some people are paid to shoot rockets into cities, some people are paid to deny healthcare coverage, some people are paid to lie on television, and some people are paid to lie on dark pattern banners.

They should be hunted down.

That's a bit extreme. Your job is to do the right thing for the business your work for, no the users.

If they tell you to implement a banner or dark pattern you do it.

No, you resign, if you are a decent human being.

It’s a lot easier to be a decent human being with a big bank account, no sick family members and housing that you own, not rent.

Everything is easier with resources. But if you only have standards when you can easily afford to, you have no standards.

Normal people have to feed themselves and their families. They aren’t going to quit over something so trivial.

That you think it trivial is a big difference between us.
