It is obvious to me that in spite of all the good discussion I've seen, rational people tend not to steal anyway, and so what's left? Will I try to convince a bunch of thieves they're wrong? Think they'll change their minds? Not when they get some else's work for free.

This is inane...at best.
So, you choose to go with a publisher that has the sense to sell your book to people that wish to buy it...but are MORE CONCERNED with people that...AREN'T CUSTOMERS?
Not a single thing you've posted has offered any insight whatsoever. Most of it is full of vitriol and cursing.
Assuming whatever you wrote was worth something TO BUYERS anyway, it is a 100% certainty that it would end up in electronic form and you would make NOTHING off it.
To be with a publisher that has the savvy to be aware of this and have a business plan for it is a great step.
And I feel you are a coward...to come here and insult people that are "pirates" and "thieves" and "dishonest"...but you yourself lack the honesty to put your Name on your comments so that folks that don't agree with you (you know, people that desire and wish to purchase eBooks...but will get them anyway as a second choice) would not be able to identify you and how much distain you have for "potential customers"...while conversely coveting "potential revenue"...and thusly avoid your book like the plague.
I'm glad these people were able to feed your confirmation bias. You would be better served tho, listening to people that want to buy what you are trying to sell than obsessing over those that do not.
