It’s absolutely fine to put your pirate hat on when they do this kind of thing.

No DRM exists which can’t be circumvented one way or another.

If you’re unhappy about the lack of crackers worth a damn, you could always learn to do it yourself.

… is expensive. And a subscription service.
Which means there’s an incentive for studios to remove it as soon as new sales aren’t bringing enough money for its cost to be worth it.
That’s when you want to pirate (or buy, if you’re into that kind of shit) the game. With the added benefit that it’s unlikely that the studio will come up with more updates or DLC, and if the game is at all moddable it’ll probably have a mature community patch that’ll fix everything the studio was unwilling or unable to patch. (Also, I’m not sure how denuvo cracking works, but I doubt it removes all of that shit, so a game with it properly removed will probably run better than a cracked one, even if the cracked one still ran better than the original infected version.)

Absolutely. It’s not like the person can even support the studio, it’s blocked in their country.
