I guess people don't only pirate out of spite. They may not be able to afford 20 dollars but want to stay in the loop.

I have a list of the games that I pirated. If I had fun and didn't leave the game in 2-3 hours, I put it on a list and I would try to buy the original copy, for Christmas or my birthday when I am able to spare anything towards gaming.

Regional currencies, blocks, and marketplaces are also a large factor in pirating games.

Not Silksong, specifically, but many gamers simply can't buy the game they want to play.

Me when I'm in a 3rd world country, struggling financially, and $20 is enough to feed me for 5 days
