People will not pay unless they believe the files will be unlocked, which they will do en mass only if they have some publicity with positive indications it’ll work or at least a lack of negative indications that it won’t.
If ransomware gets a reputation of not unlocking on payment, then it degenerates into a virus and you’ll have mainstream news media telling people not to bother paying.
