leads Kaspersky and myself to the only rational conclusion: that Apple cooperated with the NSA on this exploit.
Kapersky reaches no such conclusion. That's from an FSB release.

It is true that Kaspersky by policy does not make attribution without concrete proof. It is the responsibility of intelligence agencies to make the call based on preponderance of evidence. The video linked above leads suspicion to a very few options. The attacker left a list of Apple ID's in the code in one place to check against. Kaspersky provided them to Apple, and Apple did not respond with any details about the users of those Apple ID's. One of the main vulnerabilities has been available for over ten years.
What is more true is that the article posted explicitly says the exact opposite of what you suggested upthread - a fact you should acknowledge.

This is a complete lie.
Kapersky denies it, but has never offered any proof.
All other Russian cybersecurity firms work directly with the Kremlin, hard to think that they got an exception.
Yeah sure. Just a Russian IT company owned by Russian billionare who stayed in Russia after 2022 and kept his business in Russia after 2022. Sorry, but everyone who is big enough and are not working for Kremlin has left the country already.
It's not even needed to mention his KGB ties.
