It doesn't matter if it's "worth their trouble". They owe that money and they need to figure it out. Noone cares what steps they need to take. That's what employees are paid for, to do the work, even if sometimes it's not "fun".

There are companies MUCH bigger and they pay like clockwork, and if there's a payment missing they quickly resolve it.

A company can decide to shut down their affiliate program completely if they can't manage it. But they cannot choose to not pay what they owe.
