Have you talked to Big Tech workers about their ethical qualms? Do they question themselves, think they're doing the wrong thing? (lemmy.ml)

Most people who work for evil companies aren't doing evil things. A lot of the workers also actively try to do their best to make things better for their colleagues or customers. But they don't make the decisions.

There's also lots of "passive sabotage/subterfuge" -- think of the scene in the original The Incredibles film where Mr. Incredible tells the claimant what she ACTUALLY has to do to get her insurance claim covered.
