To be fair, I can sympathize with OP's sentiment; why offer help to someone who not only doesn't want but will actively prosecute you for it?

I don't agree, but I could imagine feeling this way in another universe.

Not offering help is one thing. Selling a hack against someone is actively hurting them.
