I'm not sure I understand why you'd advocate specifically building technology that harms those in poverty just because you've experienced it. Did the experience make you resent poor people, or do you just feel that technology which harms them pays well enough to justify the consequences?

I believe GP is saying that the quoted statement comes from a position of immense privilege, where people can safely assume that they have plenty of options that will keep them out of poverty while also being ethical.

Fully agree. Mozilla's statement is basically ivory tower eliteness to bestow onto the huddled masses.

I did not grow up privileged myself (for western standards of course), but I'd rather be hungry than do something illegal/unethical that harms a lot of others.
