Honestly I often think it comes down to facility in shifting focuses, and how we don't have it.
I think NTs have significant obligation to their values, it's just that they are much much better at having multiple systems of values on the go at once and shifting between them with sufficient facility that they often don't NOTICE.
They have to learn to notice, because the capability of switching perspective, position and focus is so much higher that it's like . . . done . . . before they know.
Whereas doing that is enough of an effort that even when extremely practiced we often can't HELP noticing, which means we're sitting there going "how do you not REALIZE you just decided to prioritize social connectivity over honesty?" because we can't NOT notice that change because changing, in and of itself, is a Huge Effort. Even if it's a change we WANT to make ("the happiness and mental peace of my grandmother is actually more important than the specific perfect accuracy of her understanding of the life of Beethoven"), it's HARD; it's work.
NT most often just . . . . do it. (Which is also why the few times they can't the are often incapable of recognizing this as "having trouble switching perspectives/value-sets", because they've never noticed doing that before.)

Vague motions towards thoughts, anyway.
