I do feel it's my responsibility to think of the side-effects of what I do and the consequences that bear on others.
But as a sibling to you say, maybe I therefore self-select away from those kind of companies, and those not thinking or caring about those things end up taking those jobs.

The people running a company have a legal responsibility to act in the interests of their shareholders. Even if making a morals>economics decision doesn’t get them into legal trouble, it can get them into trouble with shareholders, and they may be fired and replaced with someone who doesn’t have a moral compass. So if the infrastructure doesn’t have room for morally correct decisions, no amount of martyrdom from executives is going to eliminate bad behavior in the long run.
