I suspect that is because people's moral responsibility has a large component of "who is on the hook for this". Nothing stirs moral sensibility better than being solely responsible and easily identified.
Those whose moral sense is dulled when they follow orders arguably don't actually have a genuine sense of moral responsibility beyond evading blame.
Recently somebody asked "What do you think about the ethics of lying on your resume?" and my answer was "You'll get fired if you get caught" which I think is a good answer which should be convincing to most people even if it doesn't represent the highest level of ethics.
How shall we steelman the idea that monarchism (as argued by de Maistre) is the best foil for syndicalo-technocratism ?
>Despite his preference for monarchy, Maistre acknowledged that republics could be the superior form of government, depending on the situation and the people. Maistre also defended the government of the United States because its people were heirs to the democratic spirit of Great Britain, which he felt France lacked.
>Saint-Martin taught that humanity possesses a faculty that is superior to the rational sense of morality, and that it is by this faculty that we receive knowledge of God.
(I oughta have declared it was a brotherhood[0] of functional Sz that S-M was part of-- that would exclude full blown ScZs)
[0] if I had to guess, it's related to mitochondrial DNA, like autism

There is more than one way to come to the same moral conclusion
