They are offering it and if you disagree with the way it's being offered to you, you're not entitled to procure it through other means.
I disagree.
So if you start making chairs using wood you find in a forest close to where you live and selling them on Marketplace, I can come over, enter your garage and just take them without giving you a cent and you won't do a thing because I can tell you "I disagree with your price and your decision to sell them through a Meta platform, but I still want the chairs and I know you can make more of them and you don't pay for the material anyway." and you'll look at me with a smile and tell me "You're right buddy, you're entitled to them if you feel like they should be yours!"
You've got the maturity of a child that acts like the whole world revolves around them and that thinks they're entitled to everything they want no matter the impact on others.
The worst part being that it just shows your lack of conviction, you're unable make the sacrifices that come with what you preach, you would rather have your cake and eat it too and then pretend that it's morally correct so you don't have to feel guilty about having no self control.
No, but you're free to come over and use your fancy chair copying machine to make a copy and keep that for yourself while still leaving me the original. If you like the chair, I'd appreciate a donation, most people think $x is a fair amount.
That's how digital copies work. You can have your cake and eat it too. You can make infinite cake for essentially free.
