I just learned about some of the additional context from another comment, so it definitely might not be part of this branch in the narrative. Having spent at least a little time and energy developing the weapon, they're not gonna just waste it, and having filled out the budget paperwork for a charity donation, it's was also going to happen one way or another.
It's not bad or anything, it's just how you tell a story involving unpredictable interactions, "being a business that has a budget and employee salaries", and also the PR 101 lesson of "never withhold charity".
