I mostly agree about what you wrote (see http://www.tesio.it/2020/09/03/not_all_hackers_are_americans.html for another non-US perspective on #hacking).

Note however that hacking INCLUDES, sometime, violating the law (think about Phineas Fisher, for example https://www.exploit-db.com/papers/41913 ).

The fundamental difference between #hackers and data burglars (either private or governs' ones) is the reason behind their actions: hackers follow their own #curiosity and look for new knowledge to share, data bulgars look for power (either directly or in monetary form).
