Executives will worry. First the extortionist when then threaten the executives to report them to the authorities. Now they have a victim forever. Second, even if they do pay and get the keys, it take a lot of people and hard work to decrypt. It will be obvious to many people, any of which could report the company or extort the executives themselves. C-suite people, in their comfy chairs, don't want those kinds of risks, where they can go to jail.
