Because it's a purely semantic argument (in the literal sense of being an argument about the definition of words). There is no fundamental universal truth underlying whether it's OK to refer to piracy informally as "stealing".
I'd argue that merely the observation that many intelligent, morally sensitive people here on HN feel differently should be enough to realize that this is not a 'tangent' that can be 'put to bed'. Why would you even put it like that, knowing that there is such disagreement?
