Sure you're pulling from the debrid service but debrid still hit and runs the torrent. Aside from one or two providers that seed for a day or something.

Only if it's not already cached.

The cache doesn't come from thin air. At one point or another they HnR'ed the torrent.

No shit. They HnR one time and provide to many thousands of downloaders, a not insignificant portion of whom would otherwise have been HnRs.
