True, but it's quite possible that people who cook illegal drugs for money often don't care because they get paid by the distributor. At the end of the day, they're just trying to make a living like the rest of us, and they usually don't have to care about what happens to their users because its outside of their feedback loop.
An analog to the tech industry would be the universal frustration with end user data collection vs its continuing proliferation.
Most of us don't like the lack of privacy online and how much data companies capture, and many if not most of us work at companies that aren't capturing end user data. But many if not most of us, do make tools that are sold to companies who do capture an insane amount of user data. Ultimately, we still are often paid, at least indirectly, through privacy-violating user data collection because it's an extremely common web monetization model.
I'd be willing to bet that there more than a few Facebook engineers on this forum who unironically complain about the lack of privacy on the web. But what pays their salaries?
