That's my main reason. I want authors to keep writing and publishing. If pirating takes too much of their profit, they might not be able or willing to publish more books.
Also, if their income is good enough, more of them might be able to quit their day job and write full time, and that may lead to more good books to read for me.
(Also, of course, stealing is wrong, but you asked for reasons beyond morals.)
