Restrictions on weapons of war largely exist to benefit nations that already have military superiority. These are also the nations that should be most held accountable for breaking these conventions, as it's done almost purely out of malice.

The US should never use cluster bombs. Russia shouldn't be using cluster bombs.

When Ukraine is already being cluster bombed by a more powerful nation that's 100% in the wrong it's insanely out of touch to try and restrict their ability to fight back.
So where's the cut off? Nerve agents? Napalm?
Cluster bombs aren't restricted because a country uses them out of malice, they're restricted because they tend to leave a bunch of small unexploded munitions all over the place. The kind kids end up finding decades after the fact. Often with tragic results.
