Oh yeah 100%, “don’t unilaterally defect even though you might get lucky if you don’t defect” is not a good persuasion strategy.
“If you unilaterally defect you will definitely die, don’t do that to yourself, all the experts endorse” is a much more coherent argument. Idiots might not follow this advice, but if it can take $100M and a team of programmers, governments might be able to effectively prevent such a dumb accumulation of resources. Might. We have to try.
