The NSO is only supplying a product for which there is insatiable demand from every government. If they wouldn't build them, someone else will.
They're kind of like arms manufacturers. Do you blame them if your government shoots you?

There is also insatiable demand for nuclear weapons, but if a private company from the US started selling them to random dictatorships, yes, I would blame them.
Also let’s not compare malware/spyware to nuclear weapons.
Poland can get their hands on any weapon or controlled technology they pretty much want.
And I find it laughable that you out Hungary as a dictatorship it’s an EU member and a NATO member.
More like hired hitmen.
Nobody thinks that we can prevent everyone from doing something. The point of regulating (or making it illegal) and then enforcing those laws is to increase friction, increase costs, and thus making the thing difficult enough to obtain that the problems it causes become manageable. If there are 3 vendors of this sort of thing, then shutting down one of them definitely will make it more difficult for would-be customers by increasing costs and risks. Something does not have to be perfect to be good.

When Iran sells weapons to the Russians we definitely blame them, yes. And the Russians for using them, as well.
