Yes, I agree with this argument. The intelligence community has consistently valued offensive capabilities over improving our tech defenses. Apparently they think that finding and hoarding exploits gives them an advantage over other state actors.
Which really sad and depressing for the American tech sector. Not only do they have foreign state actors trying to hack into their infrastructure, they also know that they're own government won't help by disclosing the holes they hoard (or worse, joining the foreign attackers in exploiting the holes they have found).
America has so much to lose and very little gain from exploits. It's so discouraging that the intelligence community is still valuing offense over defense.
