It's just my impression of things based on what I've seen, but if that's objectively wrong, I want to learn why

And on the general topic of rationalizing piracy:
Don't get me wrong here, it is within the sellers rights to impose rules and restrictions about how the product is to be used. That's not a bad thing per se.

But some of these restrictions are just stupid, and only hurt legitimate customers.

Sure, take me for example: I've pirated movies which I very well could have paid for, but just didn't want to.

Yes, I agree that sellers can impose those restrictions. Yes, I agree that those restrictions can hurt legitimate customers.
