I remember there being a similar statement after a hospital ransomware attack last made the news here. Now that I'm looking for it there are a lot of hospital ransomware attacks that didn't show up on my radar.

It makes sense from a pure self-serving rational perspective. They don't want to become target of a well-funded investigation or be held responsible for damages above and beyond some unimportant business network. They want to blend in with the background of 1000 other ransomware attacks per day and make money.
