Anyone know was Pegasus sold as as a service or the software was sold and the user could target whoever and the number is much larger than 1400?
It was. $10M/year. After Apple patched the buffer overflow in the gif lib and introduced blastdoor, they replaced it with Pegasus 2. Apple patched it again. That's why it's sold as a service.

It's available to anyone who pays. Not limited to nation states. I doesn't concern me much: $10M is out of reach of anyone I'll ever meet.
