I don’t feel like much of this post actually talked about ethics. It talked about quality, competence, flexibility, and reliability, and assumes that ethical software would have all these things.
That’s not really _ethics_ as I understand the term. Software ethics would do more to plumb the question of, is it ethical for the WebKit team to ship a feature that will make one of Apple’s business goals more viable at the cost of increasing daily energy consumption of the iPhone by 3%? That is actual ethics, not ‘did I make this system easy to extend?’
