I guess some of us are more astute when it comes to the difference between clicking something and needing to open a terminal and remember strings of commands before. Oh, and being intrinsically familiar with a forum.

You're right, broader compatibility and being more user-friendly serves no use to anyone
They know about the piracy and are actively removing copyrighted content. This has seen a lot of files going poof from its usage on pornographic forums and is now considered unreliable for such purposes. Not sure if this is going to spill over into other pirated content but I don't see why it wouldn't.
I would add creation within an IP to this as well. There are so many good IP out there that some large company has devoured and actively chooses to just sit on when we could be getting good fan-made content. One example that comes to mind since it was brought up is EA sitting on American McGee's Alice. So many fans are desperate for good content from their favourite IPs and are getting corporate by-the-numbers drivel at best or simply nothing.
I think a good trade off here is fans can make what they want then the owners are allowed to incorporate fan stories at their choosing so X fan game would be the official third game in a franchise then the IP owner could run with those ideas to make the fourth entry, for example. It'll never happen but one can dream.
Given Sony's recent string of questionable business decisions and showing their own customers what a bunch of shady pricks they are, they're probably desperate for any amount of cash injection to put on their quarterly report.

You can't delete what was already destroyed!
It's not exactly difficult to have more content than those services when they keep fucking around with exclusivity bullshit.
Some of us have been saying that for years
Not to mention generally shitty business practices and eve more arbitrary regional locking than you might think. I was living in a non-English speaking country back when I was willing to pay for Netflix and I tried watching an anime only to find I couldn't get the English dub. I contacted support and their answer was "You don't live in an English-speaking region so it doesn't make sense for you to have access to it 🤷🏻♂️". I stopped paying on the spot.
Tis the new age of sailing the seas, yaaarrrr!
If this doesn't scream anti-preservation, I don't know what does.
You seem rather fixated on Edge, unlike anyone who's ever used Windows.
