By who? You're appealing to a non-existent, homogeneous "community" when you say
> the moral obligations of the professional community as a whole.
To take specific examples, maybe one community considers it a moral obligation to advance technology and knowledge no matter what, even if it has uses some people don't like such as crypto or facial recognition. Apparently the big-tech and silicon valley communities think it's okay to police speech on their platforms, whereas professionals who value free speech would consider that unethical.
As an engineer I don't want my tuition going towards anything that isn't directly useful to me, or that aren't my free choice. Until there are ethics regulations or something that actually impact my professional life, I'm not interested in spending money on it.
