You're looking into it way too much. This has happened every single time the term "whale" has been used in any article pertaining to gambling in the past couple years. This has nothing to do with ethics. Every industry has its overloaded words/phrases that outsiders would be confused upon first hearing. This is why context is of paramount importance (something that's often lost in mediums that are ripe for hot takes, like Twitter).

Don't try to turn this into something it's not.
