I think it says more about us that we are at a loss for words or shocked that a startup goes under and its unwinding is messy. It is neither a big deal, nor is it particularly unethical that this should happen. Caveat emptor. This type of reaction should be reserved for real catastrophes like a cancer diagnosis, a war, the death of a loved one, etc.

Have we all become so fragile that something as minor as a startup with a small number of users shutting down causes us shock and disgust?

This is a website full of startup people, a startup going under with a messy shutdown is something I would expect this audience to be upset about.

Why are you on here lecturing us? Shouldn't you be out saving the world or something important? Or at least lecturing politicians?
