If I download a pirated game it's because I don't intend to pay for it. It's a choice between pirating and not playing it at all. Sometimes I like the game so much that I do end up buying a legit copy too, but that wouldn't have happened if I didn't get to play it first.

For Switch in particular it's because I'm a PC gamer and can't get used to playing games on console. I do own a Switch, but I find it inconvenient to use vs the PC. I played a lot more on the emulator than I did on the real thing.
