> Not everyone chooses to do something morally wrong, just because "I'm allowed to! And it makes life easier!"

But plenty choose to do something morally wrong because "I have to put bread on my table, and I'm about to go out of business because I can't compete with everyone else doing the immoral thing". This is the mechanism by which the market eliminates ethics from our lives, step by step. If doing something slightly wrong gives you a competitive advantage, you'll take it or you'll get outcompeted by everyone else who do.
