I don't know what argument you're trying to make. Governments will research 0days because other governments are doing it, and it's best if you find them first and work out a defense. You know, in case you want to mess with someone's nuclear centrifuges and to avoid having yours screwed with.
Do you think that it should not be legal for the government to investigate a crime?
The system is made up of people, some of them may abuse their access. Other laws, in theory, will hold them to account.

In theory. The crux of the matter is whether there is significant abuse or not, and how well it is handled once uncovered. Based on history (PRISM, Five Eyes, etc.), I'm not at all optimistic.
