The people stealing it usually want to resell it. They'll wipe it. The hackers want the data on it, esp if they can unlock it, since it might be valuable in itself or connected to your online accounts that they trade on black markets. A subset exists between the two which are people that might target you personally just to snoop, a grudge, incidentally to grabbing information you have on your business that's the actual target, and so on. Best to simply cover each one with whatever protections you need so the attackers' motivations and probability aren't something you need to guess.
