every person that does it is just another reason for companies to put Denuvo in their games.
If you want more, it’s also a rally cry for execs to bring up at board meetings about why their latest game didn’t sell well. It’s why Nintendo can brick your Switch 2 from orbit if they detect pirated software (which will surely lead to false positives).
They could also choose not to. Also, I have never heard of any game not selling well due to piracy. It just leads to producers not earning quite as much money as they could theoretically (though it is debatable if pirating people really would buy the game instead of just refraining completely).
Whether or not it is what actually happens, it’s what they tell their shareholders, which is enough to make them resort to anti-consumer practices like third party launchers and anti-theft software.
How is torrenting “making it worse for everyone else”?

That’s what they tell their shareholders.
