It's just a business model, similar with printers, coffee capsules, software and music. Essentially, the idea is that you get your payment for your work and resources over the course of use without using intermediary for financing the customer. You spend the resources upfront(record music, film a movie, produce appliance and give it away for cheap) and later you enforce payment per use where usage almost doesn't cost you anything. From consumers perspective, you can achieve similar savings on games, music, movies and software if you use torrent trackers and a seedbox. IMHO, it's only a problem when prevents legitimate use cases like lending it to a friend(was not a problem with DVDs, huge problem with DRM protected video purchases).
