Zero click hacks often find exploits in the victims OS, places where protocols run automatically. Stuff like Bluetooth device identification, wifi, sms protocols. I'm certainly no expert, but they are rare and highly coveted, and nation-states spend a lot of resources finding them. Ethical hackers also look for them, to notify the software/hardware creators and get them fixed.
