I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform.

Why go through the trouble of pirating if you can pay for it and get a reasonable service?
