Ethics and morals are not "arbitrary".
Your argument is effectively saying "how can lowering the quality of my product affect customers when they freely use it?".
If you use Facebook regularly, you are locked into it because unless you manage to convince your entire friend network to move to some other social media with you, you will have to "leave them behind".
