It's interesting that you raise that question in the FB context, because Zuckerberg has very specifically structured his company such that this isn't the case. He can't be removed.
More broadly, we should care because such leaders accrue outsized power and can thus have outsized influence/impact on large numbers of people.
>If end users can exercise their moral choices themselves,
End users don't always have the info they need to choose not to participate in immoral schemes or to know that they are victims of the same.
>a leader can be moral in such a way that you would wish he wasn't
That argument vaguely evokes nihilism. Societies organize themselves around generally accepted moral principles, many of which are codified. Largely, we can quantify morality.
