I can't disagree with that.
Then there are things like the Vault7 leaks, which were stoked by teaser announcements and theatrics. And while they did contain some surveillance tactics that seemed interesting they mostly contained tools and internal communication that was clearly sensitive and generally not information that the public even cared about (their exact code obfuscation algorithms?).
The net effect is that most people didn't care much while anti-western intelligence groups probably had a field day.
And given the sophistication to obtain the data it likely came from a nation state in the first place wishing to accomplish exactly that goal.
There's no way they didn't realize what they were doing. They played part in an attack.
Meanwhile Assange yawns at the Panama papers...
