Given sufficient motivation the little snitch dev could essentially supply chain attack every user, or even specific users.

Said motivation could be a nation state handing them $XXX million dollars

Or even sell the whole org for say $50M and no one ever mentions anything.

I think the type of users it attracts (techies, crypto ppl, etc) makes it worth more too.

You're missing the most important part of the motivation here: why in the world would a nation-state give a damn about Little Snitch, especially to the tune of $XXX million dollars?

A nation-state could pay $XXX million to your significant other to spy on you. But again, a nation-state doesn't give a damn about you.
