If you're the CIA/NSA don't you want to use this kind of low level stuff most of the time because it blends in with the background malware? If it's discovered which it may almost certainly be at some point there's little to point at and say "this is malware created by a nation state" vs "this is malware made by a bored teenager".
Seems like a positive advantage?
