What on earth is north Korea really going to gain with a spy satellite that isn't already on Google maps or Maxar?

Well not all spy sats are for photography, some are gpr, sigint (essentially sneaking up and grabbing stray data), piggy backs literally adding mass to fuck a satellites orbit and make it die faster. There's a bucket of fun stuff they can do but basically all of it involves not being known.
