There's a world of difference between human fallibility, and knowingly doing evil as part of one's job. I won't call the bricklayer evil if someone builds a 10-story skyscraper [1] atop his humble garden shed foundation, that ends up collapsing and killing everyone inside.
[1] To make the analogy perfectly clear - the skyscraper is not the software, but the persecution based on assuming the software is infallible.
