This seems counterproductively uncharitable. Wall Street in particular and finance in general is perceived by many to be an industry that is overall harmful and has negative value, and that participating in it is contributing to harm and producing very little added value for those outside of high-earning elite groups.
It makes a lot sense to me that someone who thinks the finance industry is, on net, harmful will see ETG in finance as a form of ends justify the means reasoning, without having to resort to reducing it to a caricature of “money bad = Wall Street bad = ETG bad, it doesn’t have to make sense”.
That’s literally just the same thing I said with more words. They don’t have reasons to think finance is net negative, it just is polluted with money and therefore bad.
