1) Successfull development and production gives them a darn terrifing weapon
2) having such a weapon, they can sell it to other Bosko's for really really big bucks to fund their own nefarious plans
3) the Bosko street cred for not only having done so, but having done so almost litterally under the noses of the Supers, Stellavia and the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom.

That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
