I believe that you call the "historied infrastructure of ethics and judgement" is the same thing as what I call "political power". It's basically a system by which most decisionmakers will act towards certain hidden goals even while pretending they favor other more palatable ones.
And I stand by my claim that this threatens the extant power structures. Many of those power structures maintain power by pretending to serve one palatable goal (e.g. equal treatment) while actually serving a far less palatable one (e.g. quota systems).
Concretely, I believe that if existing power structures actually implement the principles they claim, algorithms will support them. And if they don't, algorithms will threaten them. So far the latter seems to be what is happening.
