You have such line of thinking because, ok, you live in a first world country where you can afford anything you need.
Ok, I cannot afford a Ferrari, but I can afford a brazilian Volkswagen (that is what I actually have); but as I said in other comment thread, if I would be a graphical designer, I would have to buy Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, etc. etc. and I simply could not afford it and I would have to buy pirated copies.
You could argue that I could buy Pixelmator, or use Paint.NET or the Gimp, but though I am a fan of such products, I do not know if a "pro" would be happy with them.
