The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you’ve already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Why is the argument bad? Please elaborate.
Because the issue at hand is more like if you bought tickets to the circus, but when you went to go see it you were told the circus isn’t there anymore and you don’t get a refund.
That I would definately call stealing, and if I wanted to see the circus the next time it was in town I would absolutely sneak in.
A more honest analogy for the situation was that there are very few incidents of circuses doing that and now people demand it’s morally justified to get free entrance to every circus, concert, fair, museum, …
“Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” though, right?
It’s not just a few circusses. Every major circus company seems to consistently pull this trick.
But people aren’t just sharing media that is affected. They pirate everything, even when there are ways to buy and own it.
Not enough workers exploitation.
