Considering piracy equivalent to hardware theft is just intellectually dishonest. In a lot of ways, but relevant to this discussion is that piracy is way less risky, so more people do it. If you try to steal a PS5 from a store I'd go as far to say you'd probably get caught and jailed. With piracy you almost definitely won't get caught.
