The only confusing thing about this little interaction is why people like you exist who think chatgpt has any level of competence or a single viable use case. It's a fucking trash bot and you're a slopper, the correct response isn't to get frustrated it's to realize you were wrong to trust it. Move on.
If the devs don't give it away for free and the distributors don't give it away for free then you're getting files from a third party which has risks associated. That's literally the only reason not to pirate now.
Also, the Corpos would still have antipiracy methods like DRM and control all print, merch, and other media.
Counter-question: Why would you buy it? Why would they even make it while starving?
Developers get paid now. Turning that into a creator economy reliant on donations is silly.

If Steam could take and resell your games without paying you anything, they would sell more of your game than you would and all of those sales would be lost revenue for you.
Well the only Windows 10 system still receiving support is Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC, afaik, and I have one which does not have that particular problems. Are you properly scheduling updates so that it doesn't run automatically?
Hopefully somebody with more time and less dignity combs through the github and tells you what all is problematic about it.
