>I know this is not something major, but still, how do these people sleep at night?

Easily and without issues. Humans are very good at making sure they do not feel themselves to be evil. A mass murderer will blame everyone except themselves or rationalize their actions as just.

Things which come to mind in 30 seconds:

"The regulation is draconian and it is just to fight it in any way possible."

"Our business helps people and working around this helps our business and thus helps people."

"If people really wanted and weren't simply mindlessly clicking buttons this won't stop them so we're actually helping user's enact their will."

"We put all this effort into the business, it's evil for the government to interfere for wishy washy reasons."
