More, but not much more. Presumably the developers have more capability to get another job elsewhere and are less constrained by economic neccessity. Even then though their amount of "guilt" is tiny compared to those in decision making roles.

You'd be surprised, I've written a long comment about it but I've been trying to get another job for around two years now and it's been completely impossible. Part of it is because I don't have any formal education in the field (despite years of experience), but a lot of it is that the developer job market went to absolute shit after COVID and all that's left now is nothing but evil companies.
My options for applications are basically AI startups, crypto start ups, banks and tech companies that are too competitive to ever give me an interview even if they're somehow ethical.

On the face of it, no because it depends on who is making the decisions.
Is the building maintenance staff suggesting locking the fire escape against code? No, it will be someone else with authority.

I think a software dev can be pretty not guilty if they're making positive change in the company. If everyone with a conscious quit Google, I think they'd get more evil.
Equal.
Assuming they consider the company evil, tbey both have a moral imperative to find another company.
