These are private actors. It's not acceptable to harass people for building things that are lawful but that you don't like.
If you don't like this functionality, participate in democracy and work with your representatives to make it unlawful. But be prepared to humbly lose if the majority disagrees with you.
You're not, however, entitled to a "heckler's veto."
Nobody is asking for harassment. Social ignorance is usually enough. Like, nobody wanting to date, be a friend, asking for parties etc. It is very normal treatment to people who have bad behavior etc.
"The only real solution is to aggressively name and shame the engineers who build this tech. They should feel uncomfortable opening their door, walking down the street."
What do you think this is a call for, if not harassment?
There is a fine line between harassment and pointing of for socially bad actions. Harassment involves usually calling by names, making threats etc. You can definitely shame people with a diplomatic language.
