I believe this is one of many reasons why tech companies, especially unscrupulous startups, look for the youngest talent they can afford. Not only are these workers hungry for a job (and can be hired for less money because of their relative inexperience), but they also have not worked in the industry long enough to cultivate an ethical barometer (or are hungry enough for work that they would be willing to compromise their own ethical standards, if any). When I read about or see a developer/engineer/etc stand up in support of the ethical or moral factor of their work it always makes me proud.
