Most ships aren't worth the cost to decontaminate and sink due to various environmental regulations. Some are reasonable and some are not.

I assume most of the superyacht will eventually go back to their owners where in relations with Russia are normalized if they have not deteriorated into worthlessness

That's probably the worst possible scenario. Even a series of accidental fires would be a better outcome.

Why is that? Giving them back wouldn't particularly bother me.

I think worst case is paying Russia cash value for the stolen yachts

Giving them back would reinforce Russia's belief that it can commit any kind of crime with impunity, which would then result in it becoming even more aggressive.
