In general if no one cares does it make it an ethical issue? No one cares if you kill an ant. No one cares if you kill during a war. If what we value vs what we do becomes out of sync an ethical issue arises
We haven't been able to remove biase in society. We just added more layers. The more you try to hide the truth to remove baise you start creating your own. The closer we come to accepting the truth the closer we get to solving bias by addressing it not erasing it.

There is a big difference between “no one cares” and “society (weighted by social power) doesn’t care”.
Entrenching and reinforcing bias against the already socially weak is something that society, weighted by social power, does not care about, but it is precisely that that makes it an important ethical issue.

Capitalism’s failure to distribute economic gains well is not a issue brought on by AI, and there is already a much larger body of ethical philosophy directed at that problem with whose work anything the much smaller number of AI ethicists would direct at the problem would be redundant.
This is not a problem that remains because of inadequate attention by an appropriate set of ethicists, but, again, because it is one that society, weighted by social power, very much does not care about. Social power in capitalism is, in fact, very much concentrated in those for whom this problem is a benefit, and it is concentrated there as a direct result of this problem.
