It's one cause, but in my opinion the root here is the fact that ransomers are frequently identified but brazenly don't skip a beat even if they get publicly doxed, because they know they'll face no repercussions. Their governments turn a blind eye as long as the victims aren't citizens of the country or closely allied countries.
