NSO seems more like a business. If Israel wanted to, they could pay NSO to keep their software internal/private, no?
The more devices that get exploited, the more exploits that get closed. That's how you lose your edge against your enemies.
Unless they're so confident in their stream of exploits that it's worth burning a few. Or these nation states are buying the devices to operate these exploits and operating them in their security labs...hrmmmmm...

And if they hack companies or people seen as hostile, so much the better.
