Hey, I don’t judge. I might only pirate media I’ve already bought (like when I couldn’t find my copy of a movie) but firmly agree with Gabe Newell that piracy is a service issue first and foremost. Additionally if you can’t own the game you buy I can’t view it as stealing. If there is a crack for Civ 7 or Dragons Dogma 2, I’ll probably buy a copy then get the cracked version for performance.
Far Cry 6, Nier: Replicant, RE Village, Hogwarts Legacy, etc. Source: https://gamerswiki.net/has-any-denuvo-game-been-cracked/
Edit: The first three games I listed came from the subreddit mentioned in the article.
… I hate to out myself here but I have played some of those games cracked.
I mean there was even a whole thing on Far cry 6 running better cracked https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohLnGG92usI
And RE Village https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSMXhdPeCfk And Hogwarts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5y_bab5wtHY
I looked up Nier: Replicant and yeah, also cracked (I will not share as I think that breaks rules)
EDIT: Also in the link you provided:
"Did Hogwarts Legacy remove Denuvo?
Notorious game cracker has removed Denuvo from Hogwarts Legacy after just two weeks."

I for sure play HL cracked days after release. I haven’t touched the others though.
