Subjective means "based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions""
Therefore something can only be subjective if a brain is involved to produce those personal feelings, tastes and opinions.
There is no other way to determine the morality of an act other than to use your brain. There are no measurements that you can possbly use to determine how right or wrong an action is.
Therefore morality can only be subjective.
You're using the definition of subjective out of scope of how it is commonly used to apply it to vision, homoeostasis etc. I was only referring to personal feelings, tastes and opinions, which can only be produced by a brain.
