If ten people cannot even get majority agree on any one of five different moral issues, then those issues are not universal. At worst, they are not evem issues

  I did not say that they couldn't agree, but they they aren't motivated to provoke action uniformly. If your manager says 'Do X.', where X is a mild violation of some one's privacy or some such, can you get the majority of your coworkers to collaborate and refuse your manager? Or will most go on with their lives because they don't care enough about that particular pet cause or 'it isn't that bad'.

    There's no need for the majority to do something. Look at Google and military AI. A vocal minority with the implicit backing of the majority was quite effective. Even if that's a very non clear cut issue. Now the DoD will contract someone else, and the resulting system will be probably worse, leading to loss of more human lives. (Though that could help with the lower utilization of these systems, which might help scale back military action. Or not...)
