Humanity, broadly, discusses ethics quite a bit and I think the philosophers among us have set us up with the tools to have good conversations about it. But tech-adjacent people seem bored and dismissive by questions of ethics as a general rule. If you were in STEM in college, you may recall the groans and avoidance of the (likely mandatory) ethics courses among your cohort. Bioethics is the most prominent example of such a study because of the possibility of immediate and direct harm on organisms. I agree it would be worthwhile to formalize an ethics framework for tech in general, we don't seem to have a proper title for such a field of study so you're right that we are blind to it as a society.
