"Is it because he's afraid he'd loose the client's if they know there are other developers involved?" - He applies to the companies as a developer for Remote Job as I said. So, he gets hired by them and then he does the work with the help of others without notifying them. He does this to make a bigger client base.

Most of the cases in the platforms- clients hire a single freelancer. I mentioned the word unethical as they are hiding the truth from the client. I am not concerned with my name or just the payment. I am just thinking about ethical issues.
