Torrenting has existed for a long time, yet people still buy software. There is a lot more to software distribution than traditional product sale.

It makes just as much sense if you're selling it!

FOSS is my personality and Arch is my distro
now start using it for a while and you will notice the difference!
you will see you have all of the latest versions of programs, that other distros wont have for 6 months!
you will learn that the AUR has every package you could ever want!
you will see that the Wiki has extremely comprehensive answers to every question!
100% its the Wiki and AUR!
On every other distro, once you want a program not in the package manager, it will likely be broken by the next update. On arch 99.995% of the time it will be in AUR and you can just make a simple PKGBUILD when its not, so your updates will automatically recompile all of your personal projects!
I'm assuming the speculative-execution bugs were their fault then
