If you are using these tools you are either defending systems from threats or breaking into systems and making money through illegal activities. There is not really any other useful work you can do with these tools. I don’t see how the perspective is odd.

1) No one is entitled to a career in cybersecurity or reverse engineering, no matter how poor or sad your origin story is.
2) There are always lucrative opportunities in this world that are out of reach by people who lack some resource. In this case, it's money, but it could easily just have been something like popularity, beauty, connections, location, or even plain old brains.
I always wanted to be popular and loved by many, but I came to accept long ago that it just wasn't going to happen.
