I agree with what you've said but I think this is all out of scope for the thought experiment
Imo it's pretty clear the trolley problem is exclusively focused on morality and only to be viewed in a vacuum without concerning oneself about stuff like broader societal implications. The reframing should thus be considered with the same purpose
But then you’re altering material reality itself to counter my materialism based response which seems to validate rather than invalidate the materialist response.
I'm not countering your response, I agree with you if we're going to tackle it with a materialist approach. I'm re-introducing the problem with a narrower, more strict set of restrictions for consideration. I don't think we're even discussing the original problem anymore, moreso the "proper" way to go about it, if there even is one
