Luddites didn't rail against the immorality of technology, they were concerned with capitalists rapidly replacing skilled workers with unskilled workers and reducing wages across the board.
They were not anti-technology and they were typically highly trained workers capable of operating complex pieces of machinery.
It had nothing to do with a sense of 'technology morality' and everything to do with class warfare and standing up for the worker.
