How would that benefit Apple?
They are already able to spy on their phone users if ordered by the right three letter agency, they don't need NSO/Pegasus for that.
And if they still do so, it would basically be official: "look a phone vendor that develop tools to spy on phone usage". Not a good marketing either.

- iratewizard 5y agoRed team still develops attacks. They just do it directly for the blue team that fixes them.
