Anecdotally, I knew a bunch of people with PS1, maybe one of them knew how to pirate games.

Yeah, the console I anecdotally associate with particularly easy/common piracy is the Dreamcast.

Anecdote-wise, everybody in my home town who owned a playstation had pirated games.

You don't need to know how to make illegal copies, you could just buy them for 1/10th of the original price on the street.
