What the hell is "casual piracy" with regard to an OS that comes
on every friggin computer you buy and where the next version will never run
acceptably on old hardware? There is no money being lost here.

As has been pointed out here many times, this (and other approaches) stop
casual piracy but those who are seriously into piracy are momentarily
delayed.  IOW, you stop 1% of piracy and put a hiccup in the road for the
other 99%.
