No, an exploit costs a lot of money to produce, and government spending means that money is available. If that money dries up, then less exploits will be produced.

my worry is that ultimately, there's an infinite supply of warrants, while at any given point in time the amount of weaponised capabilities is limited, so $ isn't really the point here. if you wanted to use 0day 100x as often, your cost would be much more than 100x.

Hmm... but aren't you assuming you can only use an exploit once? If I want buy an exploit and use it 100x as often, sure it's useful life will be shorter but it's clearly not going to cost me 100x more? How do you get to that number?

If I might add, some countries, like our Italy, if you give them those warrant based capabilities they will just abuse and use it on a significant % of the population. There is the data on the wiretaps and physical bugs and the number are big. For electronic surv instead smaller

A little late, but: there is no reason why the use of 0-days should not require an individual warrant for each individual that is targeted.
