The internet has a big problem with people forgetting to read things with nuance, which leads to the behaviour you described. In the past decade, social media has convinced millions of people that all-or-nothing thinking is acceptable (because it causes conflict, and conflict is cash).
Most casual users of services aren't tech-savvy enough to know how to pirate. It's easy to forget that pirates are the minority when the seven seas are so popular.
I'll enjoy the peace while it lasts. If/when the Fediverse becomes mainstream, psyops and ragebait and disinformation will migrate over because there's always someone who can profit from it. :(
