I’m just guessing here but I imagine it’s like how certain groups in South America refrain from kidnapping/violence on large tourist destinations. These groups don’t exist to be evil they exist to make money and bringing the weight of powerful nation states (the US) on you is bad for business.

Ensuring that no affiliates can produce victims in their own countries is the easiest way for these criminals to stay off the radar of domestic law enforcement agencies." From the article. So I guess it is the same principle.
