Do you only care about things that directly affect you negatively and personally? There are a lot of things that don’t affect me directly personally that I still care about. I don’t write open source public software with a restricted license, but I understand why some people do. I respect that, and I probably use a lot of the software without realizing it. I can understand why they’d be bothered by theft of their work, and I could see downstream effects such as them stopping their work that would eventually affect me.
