Purely speculation, but from a commercial perspective it would certainly make sense to have the highest-tier version of your product available only to select, high-paying customers; hypothetically this might include zero day exploits of up-to-date software. Pure speculation.

Would payments for this be higher than the potential costs of leaving known exploits active on their devices?

Exploits are only used to access the system. You can delete them from memory afterwards.
