Why wouldn't computer parts manufacturers and anti virus/infosec guys intentionally release targeted malware that damages physical components to increase demand?

Would an emp powered by a 9v battery be powerful enough to fry a smartphone or is that question too ambiguous because it all comes down to capacitors? If that's so.. theoretically using all the energy in the battery in one hit would it then be powerful enough to fry a smartphone?

I'm wondering because I built a very small 9v powered EMP generator which is triggered by a phone call through a 3.5mm jack. I don't want to test it because I'm not sure. I assume the tiny difference in amps through the CPU would instantly kill it right?

A single rotor helicopter would have a much more efficient than a quad rotor correct? And calculating off a 40 ft blade length a dual rotor will always be better than a quad for lifting heavy too right unless you build the thing from titanium?

Are particle accelerators, rather than revealing subatomic particles as a result of their collisions, really creating them out of the interaction between the intense field densities that must exist at the point where matter is collided at relativistic speeds?

The existence of subatomic particles, then, is no more surprising than throwing a pebble into a pond and seeing a ripple form, and are just the results of certain configurations of energy statistically occurring more often than other configurations of energy, for any given input.

So, subatomic particles - do they really constitute the fine structure of matter, or are they a short-lived mishmash of energy configurations - statistical anomalies born out of field interactions which we ourselves create as a result of the energies involved in the collisions?
