"If a ransomware attack hits your organisation it will destroy your reputation because customers will notice that you don't take their protection seriously, they will leave for a more expensive but reliable product that takes their business and clients seriously and actively works to protect them."
In many cases, you cannot really switch.

Ransomware just hit ticket machines on a UK railway. I do not think that this will make people who regularly take that railway seek for alternatives.
1. Yea if you don't lock your store you will get robbed and be held liable for the loss, your insurance won't pay out because you didn't sufficiently protect your liabilities.
2. Businesses buy insurance and secure their equipment because they are held liable for this, the cost is included in the cost of the product.
2a. If a ransomware attack hits your organisation it will destroy your reputation because customers will notice that you don't take their protection seriously, they will leave for a more expensive but reliable product that takes their business and clients seriously and actively works to protect them.
I get your arguments they just don't make much sense from the perspective of a business and its liabilities.
