PS4 and Switch both have kernel level hacks which have allowed folks to boot pirated copies of games. But for the most part, I'd say that yeah priacy is effectively dead. The ease of hacking the consoles and running pirated games isn't there (IMO) and thus the percentage of users who are doing it is very small. Much more an enthusiast community moreso than a community of pirates who want to play games. This could all change, but I don't think that the piracy scene for the newest generation is anywhere close to the last two. Hell, I remember flashing the firmware on my xbox 360 disk drive within the first year. Or soldering a modchip into my OG Xbox. RIP that console, best console ever.
