Right? They weren’t too particular about the wide spread of poison gas.
Not to mention the submarine warfare on anything that floated. A lot of luminaries back then decried the sub as a sneaky and uncivilized method of killing people.

Even way before that, the use of the crossbow was judged by many to be inhumane.

They perfected the use of machine guns, too. Whatโ€™s the difference between spraying a lot of lead out of a machine gun or shotgun?

The same was said of the atom bomb.

And sniping (until Vietnam came, when the US military opened its first permanent, full-time sniper schools and began incorporating snipers into our order of battle doctrine).

Next in the barrel likely will be autonomous weapons systems.

Judgements as to whether something is fair in war usually is determined by who's ox it is that's getting gored.
