The writers aren’t the only people that work on a show. Buying something “directly from the writers” may sound or feel like it’s an altruistic move, but those credits at the end of a show with hundreds of names represent all the people who won’t get paid by you buying something “directly from the writers”.
Also, paying for things is how things continue to get made. If Apple looks at the streaming numbers for something like Strange Planet and they’re very low, there’s no season 2. All the crew on the show may find other work, but similar concepts may be labeled as “unprofitable”, and the market for ideas like “here’s a quirky web comic that we all love, let’s try making it into a show” hurts for it.
A sliver of what you would pay for Apple TV+ would go towards Tim Cook, sure, but the guy is actually paid a significantly smaller slice of the profits of Apple than many other CEOs are paid by their respective companies, and the pie of an Apple TV plus subscription isn’t divided up to only one or two people.
It isn’t my job personally to worry about the employees of a massive corperation with more money at any given time than I’ll ever see.
I pay the artists writers sometimes not because I think they are owed something for their work, but because I want to reward well done art that I liked. It isn’t how I convince myself that piracy of media produced by large corperations is moral, I think piracy of media produced by large corperations is always moral because large corperations are inherently predatory on all public commons, especially when it comes to IP law. Just look at how they took away the entire concept of things entering the public domain from entire generations.
