With most software in that price category, the actual software is a small piece of what you’re paying for. It’s really support, custom features, etc.

Additionally, the potential users that can pay have much bigger legal exposure using the pirated version and just wouldn’t risk it.

I've heard that pretty much the whole Chinese fabless scene runs on cracked EDA tools FWIW.

For sure, there is no legal risk for them.
