For context, I want to run a small personal gig (offering stuff on Patreon). Nothing too fancy.

In order to do that, I would need to use the Adobe suite, Windows, some audio and video effects, all requiring a commercial license.

In theory, I start to make money. How would Microsoft and Adobe know that I don't pay for their software?

If I use some audio effects, how would their owners even be able to tell / find my work? We're talking about basic sound effect, like rain, door knocks etc.

I've always been confused by this

I'm chill and polite. I've precisely explained what's wrong with the answer, I wasn't talking about you. So if you have no counterarguments, just stop arguing. There's no need to act childish and to try to undermine the other person.
