(Legitimate) governments generally are the only legitimate users of 0-days. Governments can legitimately and legally hack into your computer; nobody else can. Governments can legitimately and legally shoot you, but generally nobody else can.
One definition of government is that they have a monopoly on violence.
(I say "generally" above because there are exceptions, of course.)
