Apples revenue isn’t much lower than Israel’s GDP and NSO isn’t really a nation state actor.

  NSO is reported to consist of mostly Unit 8200 staff. No way they're not deeply connected with the Israeli government.

    Unit 8200 is single largest Israeli military unit, their entire tech industry is filled with 82xx, 81xx and 99xx alumni. This is what happens when you have universal conscription and the intelligence corps get their pick of the brightest conscripts. It still doesn’t make them a state actor anymore than the dozen or so European malware vendors and the probably far more numerous US ones and that is before looking into the defense sector proper.
