I'm sure they've covered themselves from liability deep in a click-through EULA somewhere, though.

Absolutely no incentive. Normally ransomware gangs (I've heard) strive to provide great customer service in order to maintain trust that they will decrypt future victim's payloads. But since this attack was carried out by AI the data was at the mercy of a stochastic parrot. The lesson learned for the attackers will probably be to ask the attack to execute a known script once it achieves a toehold instead of trusting the prompt to do so the work.
