Denuvo adds an obscene amount of checks to the executable, which manifests as an increased CPU load (compare Assassin’s Creed Origins with and without it) and poorer performance. It also restricts the game’s availability to legitimate paying customers if there’s any issue with the “is this a new installation” detector.
You… either completely missed or completely ignored the point. The point being that, in order to attack the pirates who wouldn’t have bought the game anyway, regular paying users are getting screwed over by a significant performance hit.
Denvuo can cause issues for Linux users trying to switch proton versions. Denuvo is also terrible for game preservation. It’s not just pirates that are affected negatively.

Would-be pirates were never going to pay for it.
No loss.

Again, ten years ago this would be a true statement. Today, your system must be pretty shitty to be hit with performance issues.
The only people complaining about this are people who would have pirated it but now can’t.

Thank you for completely ignoring what I said and just repeating your rhetoric for the third time. Very constructive. Much discussion. Wow!
