It makes perfect sense!
The same kind of people that would say no to a pocket change ransom, are the same kind of people that would use taxpayer money to not just do a poor job, but to not do it at all!
The kind of people whose shit don't stink.

There is one exception: if the ransom is paid in such a way that the FBI (or equivalent) can track where the money goes and thus arrest the criminals.
