If you don't then a less competent developer might do it, increasing risks even moreso.



Increasing risk of what exactly ? Since you are already doing it anyway ?

The original saying (that I don’t necessarily agree with) is not about competence but about ethics: if every ethical person refuses to work in weapon manufacturing/ advertising / whatever is deemed morally unacceptable, then the only people that will do it are people with no morals and we will be worse off as a society.

So really, in this case the person just shutting up and doing it is already the worse fallback.


Or .. fail in doing it ..
