Who pays for the amount of work that went into something? Not just for books, but for anything? If there were two books of equal quality, should the one that required more work from the author cost more? If so, why penalize the author just because writing comes easier to them than to another? The way the real world works is that if people can get the product for less money, they will. There aren't many people who will say "No, that's too cheap, I insist on paying more."
There's nothing different about the way people buy books, it is like any other product. If you could illegally download physical products, some people would do it. No one cares how much work went into the car they drive, they care about the quality of the car and how cheaply they can get it.
