I definitely feel for the regular people getting hit with such ransomware, but devs that don't have backups are just asking for it to begin with. Not that it's right or anything, but if you have no backups of your site, it was destined to be lost at some point whether is be ransomware or software/hardware failure. With storage so cheap, it's really inexcusable.
While storage might be cheap, the costs for maintaining the hardware and software setup isn't. I think that's the main reason for missing backups. I maintain myself a backup solution based on a bananapi. Whereas the hardware is cheap, the overall costs (as measured in time) are not.
