Right but every single other platform that had writable media(tapes/floppies) had plenty of piracy too. Nobody bought PC over Amiga "coz it's easier to pirate games"

Nope, people bought a PC because it was good for learning/office and they were even subsidised here. Amiga had a reputation for being more a kind of fancy game machine in the EU.

If anything it would probably be the other way around, since all the major cracking groups started on Commodore computers.
