Honestly, I think this is just very different markets. With piracy (esp. of movies), you simply get a better product than if you don't use piracy: you can get stuff outside your market, you can get subtitles you don't get with your normal streaming service, you don't need to subscribe to 12 different services at once, you don't have to worry about not being able to watch a movie because your internet connection is down, you don't have to watch a bunch of ads, etc. Piracy isn't just about saving money.

Some services allow you to download movies beforehand just like you would have to do with pirated movies.
No, if you're not in the right region, a lot of stuff is simply unavailable to you at any price, or it's not available in your language. For instance, if you're in America, even if something is available, it's been converted into English so you can't watch it in the original language.
It doesn't matter how much money you have, unless you're talking about flying a private jet to that region which is just ridiculous.
