I think I just came down with lung cancer from reading this clickbaity title

Should we stop creating JavaScript frameworks because “unethical” companies might use them? I don’t know what else you are saying.

Create all the JS frameworks you like. Just release them under a Do No Harm license which precludes use by tobacco vendors, gambling companies, predatory lending firms etc.
