You seem to think being disruptive means it has to be always super successful and always ethical. Being disruptive has nothing to do with how successful they are. There are tons of disruptive approaches that failed. Also being disruptive has nothing to do with whether they're ethical or not. Maybe you have your own little definition, but that's not the definition the rest of the world uses.
