YOU could have negotiated a much cheaper price and got the decrypt key yourself!

Yes. In the same way a business owner can easily set up his own servers and computer security. After all, installing a few bits of software is surely even easier than negotiating deals with blackmailers, so he would be daft to pay £1000's for an IT professional to do the same thing, wouldn't he?
