Right, because there they are offering to *undo* something they already did, not just *not* do something.

I think other major factor is that they don't really have your data they just have key for decrypting data on your system so it will always end up being one and done and if they don't give people access to their data after getting paid then the news will spread and noone else will pay them. Ransomware developers care a lot more about their image than dirty blackmailers.
