Your reasoning is incorrect, and frankly quite insulting. I never pirate music anymore, because there is a service available that provides everything I want with no need to do a wild goose chase half the time I want to listen to something new. Time and attention are the important ingredients, not money.
Ditto for computer games, as everything I care about is always available on one of the three (!) services I use: Battle.net, Steam and GOG. That's an example of low fragmentation. I gladly spend hundreds a year on this. I never have to worry that my favorite game will disappear from my catalog. Never have to worry about DRM servers shutting down and making my purchases worthless.
The same is not the case for movies and series, as the movie industry in particular is still digging its heels and refusing to build something that properly serves its prospective customers. Multiple examples of DRM servers shutting down. Weekly examples of content disappearing from a particular platform, or changing its licensing terms to make it unavailable in my location. You'd have to be a chump to accept these terms.
The alternative should be obvious.
