What's so special about a state-level actor? What can a North Korean government do to a security researcher that a medium-sized Russian company cannot (not necessarily state-affiliated, just a company from any country which do not cooperate with the West)? North Koreans don't have more money and certainly they don't have more brainpower.

There are already smaller, private groups that have nation-state level zero days (after all, they sell these to governments…) but they would also need someone to use it on and the ability to ignore the consequences, neither of which seem to really be the case for a private company.
