I guess it's because there are mostly fans voting in your poll. Fans do buy things because it's also a mark of respect for the creator of a serie. I tried the first IL2 on a pirated copy, and bought it after because I liked it even if I could have played with my pirated copy for a long time. And I bought also all the other titles after because I loved the game.
But if you count people that are not fans and just occasionnaly play, there are surely way more pirated copy that this poll shows.
I guess the poll should be named : How many fans have a pirated copy of IL2?
