There’s a good chance that anyone making this argument doesn’t see it as a problem in the first place.

    That's correct. Dismissal of the effort and disgust for the goal seem to go hand-in-hand.

    Digital privacy? They've got you anyway AND I don't care about privacy Environmentalism? Nothing is 100% green anyway AND I don't care about the environment

    Lots of examples like that.

    They want to beat down both your goal and effort, because admitting even one of those being reasonable threatens their worldview.

    Also there is crossover. Even if you managed 100% green, maybe some engineer who worked on it accidentally hit some Palestinian with their car, so now the entire project is just a secret genocide.
