That’s kind of the origin of my question, does this thinking about the technician extends to someone more involved in the product made, such as an engineer?
Oh, the building maintenance technician also works for the evil company, and you’re asking if they’re just as guilty as the software engineer that worked to create the evil product?
To draw a comparison, I don’t think anyone would rightly be angry at the firefighters in Nazi Germany even if they put out fires that engulfed Nazi homes.

Yes
Or the opposite, if they are as free from guilt as the maintenance guy.
