You have it backwards: the entire population is punishing the org for failing to protect them.
And yes, that hurts the population a little bit, just as imprisoning individuals hurts civic society and the economy.
To mangle a great line: we are entitled to rise and sleep under the blanket of the very freedom the NSA provides AND question the manner in which they provide it.
You cannot punish an org without punishing people. An org is not something with feelings and isn't sentient. The people within it are. To punish the org, you need to punish the people that make the decisions inside it. Shutting down the entire organisation doesn't hold anybody personally accountable. They'll just go and get jobs elsewhere. It is a silly concept.
