What about: Making money (cryptomining, CCN theft)? Stealing data (SSNs, other identity documents)? Ransoming the data for money? In the end of the day, most cybercrime is focused on making money, so wiping a system has zero utility (especially as it would tip off the owners to your presence). |

It's acknowledged that some high-profile ransomware attacks had the ulterior motive of wiping data. They used the ransomware as a front and really just wanted to do damage, not make money.
