Whats the reason? wannacry got only 120k
Better create botnet

No

Which is why you should make some and flood pedo forums with it on the deep web. Pedos will always shell out money to fix it, and nobody would care if they heard a bunch of pedos were getting hit by a ransomware hacker.

Only if you use TempleOS

in the US, creating the ransomware is not illegal, giving it away for free to potential targets is not illegal.
what is illegal: is the locking of the user's data/access to functionality. and then amplify that illegality by holding for ransom.
now, what you could do, is make a game or program that has a EULA which states that until they can beat the game, they risk their data being locked. no one reads those anyway. and they can buy cheats/level skips/super weapons in-game to bypass a long gaming session.
