How has the concept of offline activation evolved over time?

Years ago, activation required manual codes and phone verifications. Now it takes seconds, even without internet access. Has this convenience improved user experience—or made unauthorized use more common?

Tried using kms pico to reactivate a friend’s PC that lost its license after an update. The setup was straightforward — one click and done. What I liked most is that it doesn’t flood you with random steps or ads like most tools do. It just works quietly in the background and restores access instantly.
