Much of what NSO Group does is sell to smaller despotic regimes who then use them to spy on dissidents who live abroad and would be quite hard (and embarrassing) to black-bag. Not everyone can send a murder team to Stockholm (or wherever).
Some despotic regimes do have large kidnap-and-murder programs (ex Rwanda) but if you just want to keep tabs on exiled dissidents and learn exactly who they're talking with back home, NSO Group has a product for you.
