Because it worked so well for Gran Turismo 7, Diablo III, SimCity, etc.
Furthermore, people on GTPlanet are actually defending this because cell phones are connected to the Internet and several other games do it.
All I know is that when the servers go offline one day because the servers either shut down or get overwhelmed, I won't have sympathy for those who still choose to buy it.
They had their chance to vote with their wallet and say they don't want it. To think that some people think multi-billion dollar corporations are their friends...
Who cares about cheating in a single player game, anyway? It's not like they're affecting anyone but themselves anyway. Especially if they wait until a second playthrough or so to break out the gameshark.
But, all those achievements and bragging rights on reddit, would be invalid...
Still think that even multiplayer should go back to self hosted dedicated servers and then the game if it is any good can live forever and people can form their own groups/server where their jannies bans the suspected cheaters.
Yup, anyone supporting this is an idiot. Microsoft shut down Forza 7 not too long ago. I thankfully got all the DLC and downloaded everything to my hard drive.
Last I checked, I could still play the game even though support has ended. And I still have my save progress (for now). But with the new Forza, WHEN (and it is a matter of when) Microsoft shuts down the game, you lose everything.

And the pirates always find a way to break the DRM.
Oh, BUt iT prEveNtS ChEatInG, the fanboys say.
Like, how do you know that? What's your proof that it stopped the cheating?
(I don't mean you, yourself literally, BTW)

Exactly. Anyone with common sense knows that those servers ain't staying up forever.
Try telling that to the shills on any comments section or forums for these games, though, and they shut you down.
Their collective meltdown will move mountains when the game gets permanently shut down.
