It is technically true for most software. It is also nearly universally
ignored by the home user. It is also true that the chances that people would
buy the software would drastically decrease if the writers tried to
universally and aggressively enforce this.
The result is less sales and they make less in the end.
I realize that this does not make it legal nor does it morally justify it to
some.
Nevertheless, we live in the real world.
