It brings to mind the old infosec adage: What's the difference between hacking and pentesting? Permission.
The best hackers learn quickly to become security researchers/GRC/application security/etc. The rest end up in jail or swimming in debt from the lawsuits. It's okay to break things as long as you've been given permission to break them, and generally that permission comes with a clause to give advice on how to make sure it doesn't get broken again.
It's natural selection in the hacker realm. If you want to survive, you have to play by the rules.
