Piracy does not offer a better product because it's free. Pirating is actually an awful experience for most people, involving shady sites, malicious ads, and a serious risk of malware. Once you get through all that, however, you've got a video file of whatever quality you prefer, that you can play in whatever way you prefer, that won't disappear based on some contract you are not party to.
Some people pirate media because they don't want to spend any money on it. You're not going to get those people to pay. Lots of other people are willing to spend money on media. For those people either the product they want is not for sale, or they are punished every step of the way for their willingness to pay.
In the days of DVD it was unskippable anti-piracy warnings, only seen by people paying for DVDs. Now it's the proliferation of streaming services with different exclusive content. It's their unavoidable software that's somewhere between bad and thoroughly broken. It's limiting video quality to 720p/480p on platforms that aren't sufficiently infected with DRM. It's content getting deleted from streaming services, either because of their license expiring or the service deciding it doesn't want to pay residuals anymore. It's the fact that DRM-free media is not for sale in the first place.
