Would you classify making clones/copies out of a thing and sharing them stealing?

Steal is like taking away a cupcake from your bakery.
Piracy is like analyzing the cupcake and thus revealing its recipe and I share it to everyone. (You wouldn’t lose your baked cupcakes but everyone makes clones out of them from the recipe.)

Especially Indie games, DRM-free games (GOG) and physical books.
Those are the people who deserve support

I never bought and never will eBooks
Only physical copies and piracy (so I can actually own my stuff)

Steam has DRM. I wonder why pirates like it instead of something GOG and itch.io
In a nutshell: the word stealing is a vague umbrella term.
