Because the damage they cause is, in my opinion, much higher than that caused by pirate servers, which in my opinion are not visited by many, simply because they don't know.
To make it clear again: Every paper book has to be bought and paid for - this corresponds to every license for a file that may not be changed, i.e. it may only be read on the devices approved for it.

That's libel. I've not read a post here endorsing theft.
I have a bridge you might like to buy if you really believe what you wrote.
Almost all the search engines list pirate sites.
People that format shift and/or remove DRM and DON'T pirate are the majority. The actual pirates are working on an industrial scale and they will start with a paper copy if the ebook isn't available.
You keep conflating people buying a copy and making personal changes with the behaviour of organised criminals.
