I honestly don’t know whether or not they (as in AMOG, BF Destroyer, Bitch Shield, and other “immoral” tactics) work in general. I don’t think they do...at least, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t work on the type of woman I’d be interested in, so they are useless to me anyway regardless of moral qualms.
Since one of those is actually a tactic used by females and one is tautologically a male tactic (the other being technically sex neutral but practically male) I’m also pretty sure that you couldn’t use at least one of them, regardless of your moral qualms and sexual identity.
“Bitch Shield” is a tactic for quickly filtering potential mates via subjecting them to stimulus that quickly discourages socially weak candidates. One could call it an immoral tactic, but there doesn’t seem like much point to such labeling.
Much of dealing with “AMOGs” is also about influences on other males and on the social group. Unless “the type of woman you’d be interested in” outright rejects any male she sees competing socially with other males then “wouldn’t work on her” just doesn’t make any sense.

I was referring to the idea that one should try to “get past” the “bitch shield” as immoral, because it is essentially an excuse for bothering people who don’t want to be bothered. I wasn’t referring to the “bitch shield” itself.

Why not? It’s really not fun to be around people who view social interactions as a competition.
Also, “competing socially” really softens the antagonistic behavior advocated in the forum.
to remove a potential male competitor—through physical, verbal, or psychological tactics
What, you wouldn’t reject someone who tried to pull that?
Bitch shields are employed by both genders. It’s just a term that is used because +90% of PUAs are straight men looking for women. Gay guys deploy them against other guys (and girls), and straight guys deploy them against women they aren’t interested in.
The terminology is decidedly female, but it’s an equal opportunity tactic. Although admittedly, used far more often by women.
Ditto with AMOG’ing. I’ve seen alpha females of combined groups go at it like it’s Game of Thrones. It’s the same methods and goals, just with a gender swap.
It is true that many social dominance strategies relating to courtship are either applicable for either sex or have loosely comparable cross-sex analogues.
