Yet I have a bunch of games on steam wishlist which I've been waiting for years to buy.

The stopper is of course denuvo, which they keep renewing the license of, for no good reason.

Maybe because a lot of users still have those games wishlisted?

Having the game wishlisted is a signal of players waiting for a sale, or future patches/correction, or simply not bothering to cleanup wishlist, not a signal of someone is eager to pirate the game.
