I used a pirated version of PS too - many years ago. I worked with multimedia, so there was a reason. Most regular people don't even know how to use PS... They are better of with just a simple tool to do what they need, like cropping adjusting size, levels, colors and and the most basic things.
Yeah, again, my opinion may be influenced by my age, once upon a time computer users were, on average, skilled enough to do simple stuff in PS.

And skilled enough to pirate. I think most users now don't have any idea how to access pirated material.
That was when most users were drawn to computers out of a desire to learn, play and use it. Now, a lot of users are forced to use computers. That doesn't make them great at it.
