Basically I inherently value non-copyable things more than easily-copyable. This means I'm fine paying $10 for a 6-pack of Miller High Life at the gas station, but will still torrent The Office even if I could pay $5/mo to stream it for the next year.

It just is what it is honestly. You're never going to change this mindset. I'm sure there are many ways you could list that it is detrimental to society, people, etc. And I'd be inclined to agree! But I just don't care, and many others don't either.

As an indie game developer, this kind of saddens me. I'll give you the benefit out the doubt, I'm guessing you make some kind of distinction as far as "SaaS" vs "bigCorp" vs "indie" -- but I still don't think it's the right perspective. I guess at EoD I'd encourage you/everyone to consider the content makers and support the ones that make content you enjoy, big and small alike.
