Your analogy make zero sense. Atom bomb manufacturers do not market their products.

Big businesses really do not like to talk about their products being harmful or dangerous, and there is ample evidence to that. Danger only sells in artisanal quantities to niche audiences.

Atom bomb manufacturers/owners want the world to know they have them so as not to fuck with them. To quote one of my favorite movies: "Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you keep it a secret! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?"
