I see your point, but otherwise you'd be punishing people for pursuing essential lines of work. A software engineer at a FAANG gets to enjoy liquidity without scrutiny even if they're just facilitating the sale of ads. Why shouldn't a doctor who saves lives get to do the same?

The value of your actions is not just the immediate work you do. It's the long term effect of the sum of your choices. If you save lives only to put your system that you've built in the hands of a price extracting PE firm, it's arguable you are violating the Hippocratic oath. One of the other commenters mentioned a study that measured a 10% increase in mortality after PE acquisition on average.
