The pedantic answer is to point to a bunch of shell companies without any electronic presence. However in terms of actual businesses there’s decent odds the closest dry cleaners, independent restaurant, car wash, etc has not had its data extracted by a hacking incident.

Having a minimal attack surface and not being actively targeted is a meaningful advantage here.

And there's also a decent chance they have. Did we not just have a years long spate of ransomware targeting small businesses?

Most ransomeware isn’t exfiltrating data. For small business you can automate the ‘pay to unencrypt your HDD’ model easy without care for what’s on the disk.
