Baseless (and also wrong) assumption that piracy is responsible for by any means significant monetary losses aside, there are other reasons for bypassing that DRM bullshit. Like, off the top of my head:

archiving -- when you don't have a local copy of a piece of content, it can be changed or deleted at any time;
ability to access stuff on a wider range of devices -- I want to be able watch my favorite coomtent creator in full resolution on my phone that has only L3 and quite outdated version of widevine without installing proprietary crapp, so what;
bypassing bullshit restrictions -- not sure if onlyfans in particular does that, but we have Netflix, for example, that would tell you to fuck off when you're not watching from home be it VPN or an actually different location when traveling.

They know all that. They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.

That simplifies market analysis, removes the dilemma of supporting or not supporting some other way users want, and ideally selling the same thing a few times.

They want you to be able to only consume content the exact they they publish it.

And they have every right to do so. If you like it or not. You don't own and have not created the protected content. On what basis are you deciding it should not be DRM protected?
