I sincerely doubt a large percentage of the world has the technical know-how to pirate.

Watching cracked streams is akin to trading endpoint security for the latest GOTR episode, too.

I mostly agree with you, with one clarification that you don’t personally need to know how piracy works to benefit from it.

Piracy is very common outside of the US. In the US piracy is an individual decision, you pick your storage and tools yourself. Other places it’s trivially easy to find someone selling pirated media in local markets.
