The crucial difference being that the other guys got some murdering done themselves.....and.... fwiw, there was some silly premise they held on to about their families being taken care of. Zawahiri would have known that pitch was bullshit....since he made it to those poor fuckers himself once. Honestly, they're just people. They don't know when missiles are coming. Walking out on a balcony is something you might do in a taliban controlled kabul two decades after the fact. That we even knew where he was suggests that he's lost some level of protective detail for whatever reason. I guess it's hard to demythologize these guys after both sides in the conflict spent so much time building them up.
