I'll go straight to the point:

Piracy is useful to bypass regional frontiers and access to censored content
Piracy is helpful to watch content without supporting it if you consider it not worth of it
Piracy might be helpful for content preservation and survival
Piracy is useful to ACTUALLY evaluate whether to spend money on some digital content or not
Piracy is sometimes the only way to actually own DRM-protected content

Piracy is unmet consumer demand. - Gaben

Honestly it's also back to being a price thing for me.... Shit's out of control, "sales" are $30 for a 5 year old game.

It seems like since the pandemic everyone and everything is raising prices and somehow they all have a reason, yet my pay stays the same...

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but if your pay has stayed the same for 5 years, you have a you-problem on your hands.
