Would it be ethical in a situation like this to hide all the technical improvements and just show the increased speed of client facing delivery?

Seems like everyone would be happier.

Using the word "hide" in any scenario should immediately get your spidey-sense tingling.

I'm always telling my developers to stop talking to the customer about technical details.

Do you think carpenters talk to their customers about types of nails and dimensional lumber? Or they talk curves, size, and color?
