Yes. Because it was cheap, easy, and had everything you wanted.
As Steam Founder Gabe Newell pointed out, the issue of piracy is usually a matter of supply than anything else. People will usually take the easier option, and if piracy is that option, they’ll do that.
Hence why Steam did a big number on game piracy, since you could get a game, and it would work in a few clicks. You didn’t have to enter codes upon codes, or root around and install requirements from the wizard before you could start. It was basically all handled for you.

Thanks for confirming! Wasn’t 100% sure if I had my facts straight anymore because it really has been a while since I had that discussion.
