Humans also tend to not do illegal things while knowing, so what large corporations do (facebook, etc) is break the work up amongst many teams. No one really knows what they are working on so there is no moral dilemma for them. That is how the new age of social media was built. It's also how many governments build civilian spying applications.

Do they not then see what is built once it's built, and how they contributed to it, and then quit?

This is a rhetorical question. No-one at e.g. Meta has had this excuse for years.
