Its simple.
Pirates don't ruin games for other players.
Pirates ruin games for the dealers.
Not necessarily even that. Piracy can benefit the developer by increasing popularity. Piracy made Bill Gates a billionaire despite his fighting tooth and nails against it.
Pirates mostly enhance games, in my experience
And also for longevity of the games, I heard that one company (I don't remember the name) selling pirated version of their games for modern system because they can't get rid of DRM themselves
