Although it's not very honorable for developers to intentially create a worse product for people who pay, just to try to prevent a small number of pirated copies to work (which likely won't actually prevent anything).

Usually that's not so much the developers but the publisher that the devs have to abide by.

I meant it more as the company. I'm fully aware the individuals don't have any say. It's still often an internal decision though, but made by the suits, not the people actually creating the thing.
