If they do leak your data after you pay, then it'll ruin their reputation and make it less likely for other victims to pay in the future.

Which is why we should do „fake“ ransomware attacks where a company „pays“ and gets „betrayed“ when the attacker still leaks some „super important“ data after the payment.

What are the hackers gonna do? Sue you?
