Why not? i think it totally makes sense to pay those assholes and trust they will stop being assholes just because they promised. And of course they won't ask for more later on.
Right? Riiight?

You forget they have unencrypted sensitive data. The business is not only about unencrypting, it can also be about preventing the leak of the files themselves.
That's why it never makes sense to pay a ransom because they can eternally ask you for more to not release the files.
