Murder is basically a victimless crime, because when you murder someone, there is no one left to be a victim. Murderers should be punished only for inconveniences that murder caused to other people who are still living.
Causing extinction of humanity would be a perfect victimless crime.
An additional reason to punish defection is to disincentivize would-be defectors in the future since they know they too would be risking such punishment.
