There’s a massive difference between ‘I am okay with theft if it impacts me economically’ and ‘I am not okay with theft but will tolerate it for some time, in some measure, because not doing so would be extremely challenging and impractical’.

To give a comparable example, I hate proprietary software, but I still run some of it on my computer, because avoiding all proprietary software everywhere is extremely impractical in current day and age. You can take a meaningful stance against something without being Stallman levels of principled.
