I’ve had the same kind of insight. If you compute the consequences of following certain habits, the best plan looks an awful lot like virtue ethics. You’re not just someone who eats ice cream, you’re someone who has an ice cream eating habit.
Similarly, if you compute the consequences of setting and following rules, you get back a lot of Deontology. A doctor can’t just cut up one person for their organs to save a dozen without the risk of destroying valuable societal trust in others following certain expectations (like not being killed for your organs when you go to the doctor).
