FruitFly doesn't seem made by a nation-state because it's not sophisticated enough,

If it sat on a number of Macs for 5 to 10 years undetected, it is sophisticated enough.

It most certainly is! Again, the simplicity of the malware appears to be the "beauty" of it.

No, it speaks of the users of those Macs lack of sophistication rather than the sophistication of the malware. . . and the lack of the malware's apparent intrusiveness. . . the users just did not notice it, nor did it make itself apparent by untoward activity.
