If you're looking for ethics and sustainability in software, https://www.fsf.org/ https://www.fsf.org/ is a good jumping off point. The Microsoft-pioneered approach of ruthlessly destroying the endeavor you're involved with but then giving away some of the ill-gotten gains to worthy causes in other areas is utterly disingenuous and dishonest. Touting a deployment of needlessly centralized servers as being somehow better for the environment is just basic greenwashing. The ethical thing would have been to not create that type of user-disenfranchising system to begin with.
