It should be highly illegal to pay the ransomware gangs. And it shouldn't even be possible to move the money for it around.

If security were at the front of development efforts, this would be far less of an issue. I've said it since the 90's.
Tcp/IP was intentionally released without encryption with the argument that routing hardware lacked the necessary performance to handle it (which wasn't incorrect, just misleading).
Windows at least was originally built as a single-user system on a disconnected computer. Though Window NT and it's children have no excuse for not having stronger security models from the start (especially since it's essentially a fork of DEC Alpha).
