The exploit chain does not cost millions of dollars to execute. It's simply the cost to buy the information from the right people. That's like spending four figures for a set of build plans for a coffee table, making the table, and then claiming the coffee table is worth thousands of dollars.
Information can be leaked or "rediscovered" by anyone not trying to run a spyware business and lower that barrier to entry significantly.
