Why do we all love pirates?

They are robbers and murderers who live dirty, dangerous lives. Yet there is a glamour about pirates, especially pirates from long ago. I obviously feel that way too -- but I wonder why? 🤔

Works of fiction romanticized pirates and gave everyone a false narrative that they lived a life of freedom, adventure, and excitement. This served well for selling merchandise. But yeah, pirates were essentially terrorists with boats.
