ELI5 how does it work with pirated games? I figured that steam/epic/Xbox store servers are connecting with Unity servers to provide the user with all the necessary files, but if I’m pirating then I’m just getting files from other users and it’s not connecting to the unity servers in any way.

They're likely using the analytics features that're baked into unity. So the game is probably phoning home to unity and saying, "hi, I've been installed!"
