I think the more relevant fact is that we don't have any ethical objections to shutting down computers, they're wholly dependent on our infrastructure, and the'll only evolve in ways that prove useful to us, because we wouldn't put a computer in charge of everything unless it were sufficiently compliant to our desires.
I mean, are you going to put the same machine in charge of mineral extraction, weapon construction, transportation, and weapon deployment? When it hasn't proven to act correctly in a high-fidelity simulated environment? Probably not.
We're also assuming that human ethics and intelligence are independent. I don't see many reasons to believe this. Social power and intelligence might be independent.
