> Compare and contrast with the highly ethical Postgres team
You do know that PostgreSQL had issues with not fsyncing data as well ? It's technology. Bugs will be made. Design decisions will be wrong.
I think it's really disappointing and inappropriate to be labelling MongoDB engineers as unethical for simply having incorrect defaults. Which in their history they often change after they are made aware of them.

See, you can name just one Postgres bug, and they held their hands up to it straight away. Whereas the MongoDB "bugs" are countless and by sheer coincidence, they mostly skew to improving performance in benchmarks and demos. That's a pattern.
