Unless they can show an obvious advantage people aren't going to pay more to be spied on.

The reason that smartphones became so ubiquitous was because they were useful products that actually had capabilities that were attractive to the general public it was only afterwards that they started to be used for spying. It doesn't work the other way around you can't make a spy product and expect people to buy it.
