I wouldn't say that it's evil, but rather it doesn't exist for the benefit of players, it exists for the benefit of corporations. They know that it hurts performance in games and prevents a lot of people from playing games that they've legitimately purchased, but so long as it's preventing some piracy they do not care.

Scatter shot approach, they DGAF who gets caught up in the crossfire so long as it makes life harder for pirates

They don't really care about the effect on pirates, it's all about being able to sell the illusion of stopping piracy to suit wearing idiots.
