That's not what the blog author is saying at all. What the author describes in the article aren't products being misused they are products that are explicitly designed to be harmful. A better analogy would be that engineers should

The Big 3 distinction isn't based on firm size (McKinsey, Bain, and BCG only have 38k, 25k, and 15k employees respectively) but rather on prestige and type of work done.
