Quality won’t increase relative to official methods because it’s already more or less at parity with them. If the file you watch is tagged as a WEB-DL, in most cases it’s identical to the file you’d be streaming via official methods in terms of quality. It’s just remuxed into an open container format like .mkv (the video and audio streams are losslessly copied into a file format which can be shared)
Pirate rips of streaming content is already 100% quality. The files are literally the audio and video data repackaged into mkv files with no re-encoding. 4K Dolby Vision rips with atmos audio tracks are now common.
The only way the pirate copies will get better is if the streaming services start offering higher quality streams.
As this becomes more common, will we see an increase of quality available on certain waters?

Cheaper to buy a hat and eyepatch than it is to pay for all these streaming services…
