    Sure, but that means that ultimately use is what decides morality, so who developed a certain product or technology doesn't matter for using it.

    Who developed it: no, probably not that much. Who is selling it/pushing it, absolutely. And users also inherently interact with those social and political structures, e.g. through working within a capitalist organisation (as most of us do), and influencing it's evolution (as most of us do, though often unintentionally)
