That is a common practice. For example, look it up on the history of Swiss Pharma industry. They grew from pirating to enforcer once they got industry lead. I pretty sure we can find examples for US, Japan, India and what not. Only the country on top of a given sector care about enforcing patent.
SaaS aren't directly pirateable. And they do so less and less in general, that's my point. 20 years ago, sure, everything was pirated US software. Now they've replaced it piece by piece.
And software is just a small part, the physical world is nuch more importance. There too they've become more independent incrementally.
