Eli5 why with digital console gaming becoming more and more popular, why haven’t we seen an explosion in the piracy market for them?

Don’t quote me, but I think it comes down to how easy it is. You don’t necessarily need to do anything hardware wise to crack and play pirated games on a computer. A lot of the time, whatever piracy protection PC games have, such as testing for a connection to the Internet, is removed by just messing with a few of the files. Can’t imagine cracking console games is the easiest or turning off the piracy protection without doing something to the console hardware. Possible, but it’s just easier on PC.
Plus a lot of games on console are online which makes piracy even harder
