Pirating is an unlikely reason. Those people do it anyway, and PC still gets sales that ultimately make porting worth it. The reason enclosed here is simply true -- there will always be less overall sales on PC. Just because the install base is smaller. So some devs decide to deprioritise it for later. Pirating will have a minor overall effect on the max PC sales that can be achieved and so is not pivotal in this decision. It's just that maximum target isn't as high as the console one.
I won't wait, and so I'll play on PS5 first. But will quickly move over to the far superior PC version once released. Aint no PS5 competing with my 4090.
