Personally, I think it's all about the balance.
There are a handful of affected families and millions cracking their own jokes. No one (hopefully!) is harassing the victims' families.
Admittedly, my moral perspective is, apparently, a little skewed. I find it mind boggling that we as a culture have normalized sweatshops to make almost everything and children mining and dying to make our phones but draw the line at jokes. Just seems weird, like a plantation slave owner chiding me for saying "damn."
