This is not an answer to the question. "Client demand" isn't a justification for doing bad things. It's just punting responsibility for your own ethical choices to others.

Client demand. There’s a weird dynamic with exchanges. Switching cost is low and people tend to want to do everything all in one place for capital efficiency/synergies/convenience. Not supporting 1 coin people demand could cost you the entire account. Listing isn’t an endorsement

What's the bad thing here? What responsibility do you think exchanges have? I'm open minded and could be convinced to change policy.

Exchanges choose what considerations to take into account when deciding whether or not to list particular tokens. You could choose to consider whether the product is shitty and predatory and not list on that basis rather than hiding behind consumer demand as self validating.

Listing absolutely *is* an endorsement and if your view is it's ethically acceptable to hock shit because your customers are too fickle for you to exercise any discretion and hope to keep them then you need to target a better customer base or up your retention game.

Now you're asserting an impossible standard as an excuse to let your own failures of judgment off the hook. Exchanges make decisions about what stocks to list and not list all the time. eBay doesn't let fraudsters stay on their platform. Take responsibility for your decisions.
