It's also unlikely that the person working on the Russet Quality Calculator feature has any knowledge about the market shares of each customer and their boardroom deals.

I think you're satirically confusing (A) "you can't shift all responsibility into superiors" versus (B) "you're guilty for any kind of involvement even if you didn't know your actions were contributing to an evil thing."

While (A) factored prominently in the Neuremberg trials, it doesn't create (B).
