This is one of the most comically evil things I've ever heard of. I bet you the person who designed this feature is on hacker news as we speak. If you are and you see this I hope you get run over by a bus today.
I mean, as a developer, I'm always going business to business to pitch my dark-pattern UI features to companies and by gosh I just wish someone would stop me!

Yeah... how about regulate them and then enforce it. Antibiotics should never be off the counter.
How do you feel about the uses of antibiotics in the food chain? The US of which is #1 winning in that.
But the advantages are a microcosm of horror, too, like the ability to keep animals clamped in extremely constricted, filthy, stress inducing environments without the flesh literally rotting off their bones, while feeding them a diet (corn for cattle?!) which gives them ulcers.

It's truly absurd, incredibly short-sighted even if one were to take the advantages at face value.

Always good to throw the line developers under the bus and let the executives get away with it. I mean, as a developer, I'm always going business to business to pitch my dark-pattern UI features to companies and by gosh I just wish someone would stop me!

If your manager asks you to implement something that can kill people you have a moral obligation to quit.
Whoever implemented this is as much of a shitbag as the executive who asked for it.

Why shouldn’t you implicate the developer? If your manager asks you to implement something that can kill people you have a moral obligation to quit. Whoever implemented this is as much of a shitbag as the executive who asked for it.

A software engineer with only a few years of experience can leave and have a $100k+ job lined up in a matter of days or weeks. $150k+ if you're in NYC and $200k+ if you're in SF or Seattle.
Sticking around and implementing an evil feature is cooperation with evil.
