I don’t think 90% of people think they’re doing good when doing bad things. I think there’s a lot of lesser evil stuff happening, probably the majority of petty crime. There’s also people who don’t think that deeply about what they’re doing, and probably many who refuse to think about it.
I do think the vast majority of people have the capacity to tell between right and wrong, but those values can be nuanced and twisted, and not examining the reasons for your values is the heart of ignorance.
