I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I don't think they "make acquiring and owning games easier" than piracy. In fact it's very easy to pirate gog games because of their anti-DRM stance so if a potential customer doesn't feel like paying the 5 bucks for a game, it's just a torrent away. Not saying GOG haven't done something wonderful but it's certainly not pirate-proof.

GOG makes games easy to find and you don't have to worry about malware. I'd say these two factors make it easier than piracy in practice.
