Your take on the situation seems to be based on a belief that people are entitled to all content that they want whether they can get it legally or not. That is not the case.
The fact of the matter is that people are going to watch what they want and its entirely up to the owner whether they want to make any money on it. Its their problem to solve, and Valve already solved that problem so they dont exactly have an excuse

I was never saying it was ethical. Its just nowhere near as unethical as people make it out to be

Pretty much. You're not taking any money away from the creators by pirating a series like this because if they actually wanted your money, then they would provide a legal method for you to pay them to watch it, or at least make money by licensing it to someone else. No, it's still not 100% ethical, but it's far less unethical than pirating a series where there is a legal way to watch it and you're actively circumventing that to avoid paying.

Im arguing against the sentiment that its the worst thing in the world and to be avoided at all costs. And Im arguing against the sentiment that its even 1% as bad as actual theft is

Well you should probably stop because thats not something I have said or even remotely implied.
