Billions, no, but certainly millions, if not tens of millions. If 10 people worked on Stuxnet for a year (this includes programmers and managers across both the US and Israel), that's roughly $1 million. And I would be surprised if there was just 10 people a year working on this between both the US and Israeli governments. So, yes, they're using the same platform as other hackers. But I think you are understating the scope of what a team of dedicated people with governmental approval and budgets can accomplish by just calling it "clever."
