A ransomware attack is as if your building burned down. If you have not practiced what you will do in case of a fire or flood, you will be offline for weeks. Reading things like "Ransomware attacks are now pervasive" makes me think very few organizations have practiced what to to do despite it being "pervasive." It isn't easy and it isn't enjoyable. Simply rehearsing restoring a system from a disk failure is stressful and often enough the user finds backup won't restore properly. But you don't know where the pain points are until you rehearse in a controlled environment.
