Or it could just show that where the focus is for the different firms. Businesses need to be able to regularly decrypt their encrypted stuff in order to function. What happens is that malware targets endpoints where data may necessarily have to be decrypted to function, like stuff before encryption or after decryption. The crooks are less caring about being able to decrypt their "clients'" stuff at the end, so they focus on the encryption end.
