I don't see a problem with that, ethics in technology are inherently formed through the modern lense. We would lose too much development if we argued what is and isn't ethical under the guist of uniformity and 'appropriate' usage of technology. If this were the case we would not have computers, internet, GPS, or any of their successors as they were the products of ths military — if the 'ethics' of their time said that developing for military use was unjustifiable or inappropriate, then many of our keen inventors and bringers of change would have been swayed potentially out of the system at large. Another strong example would explain how the development of the steam engine can be immoral, ill-advised, and unethical as the very technology had a history of destruction and causalities throughout its use, as well as pioneering aviation, shipbuilding, and many others that underpine the very essense of technology progress. Responsibility and ethics are not one of the same coin.
