You make it sound like engineers are failing their moral duty and then ignore the people in charge of them who actually make the important decisions in any company. I can almost guarantee it wasn't some lowly engineers decision to be a bad faith participant in the testing; they build what they're told to. Also, comparing car ECU engineers to software engineers generally is a stretch, I don't think there's much of a common culture there.
