Yes, which is why all ransomwares ask money in USD, right?

Your point being what? That because USD is uncommonly used in ransomware it can't be used to commit crimes? Do you really think that no extortion has ever taken place via USD? Because I can guarantee you that money-related crimes and scams happen in just about every single form of currency, even things that technically aren't even currency like gift cards.
> ransomwares

this is not even worth looking at compared to other money-related crimes (just new and in media so people are scared)
