Morality aside, I prefer not to pirate software for safety reasons. Malware is an issue, even if it's rare.
I definitely understand that. These days I hate playing games if I can't get them on GOG.

Bad analogy. I'm still 'going outside'. It's just a question of how much I pay to mitigate the 'chance of catching the flu'.
More like cycling to work with or without a helmet. Or wearing a cheap mask during covid.
Perfectly happy to pirate media, but pirated software is a risk I can largely avoid for a very low cost.
Your personal circumstances may differ, so do what you want.
