If governments are arresting people for writing "harmful code", what about devs who code WEAPONS SYSTEMS?

While reading up on Tornado Cash drama, it occurred to me: if they're arresting devs for writing code which makes financial transactions private (whatever their nature), how about all of the devs who have written code for weapons systems? Terror from the air murders women and children with "guided" missles all day every day, they wouldn't work without extensive coding. Or devs who built all of the spy technology that causes people to constantly fear for their lives in places like Pakistan?

Or what about devs who code bugs into systems like aircraft navigation that result in hundreds of deaths? We never hear about who those people are...
