No, I’d call them innovative if that’s what the market was looking for.
Would you have said the same thing about a medieval blacksmith cresting a new type of sword?
Well you wouldn't call them anything because you'd be dead. But it's nice that even in death, you're still considering shareholder value above all else.

I mean yeah, probably, if it's uniquely bad and uniquely dangerous.
Yes building evil things is evil. To me, that isn't controversial. If I build the torment nexus I'm probably an evil person.
Obviously, there's levels here, and I think appealing to... sigh... knives is pretty disingenuous.
Everything is a matter of scale. What's the difference between a nuclear bomb and a knife? I mean, besides plutonium. Scale. One can harvest the lives of millions in the blink of an eye, and one is a knife.
That's why I don't cut my bread with a nuclear warhead.
