Imo the other problem is even if you do decide to buy the manga in today's world nothing guarantees your possession of what you just bought. DRM and "only readable in publisher app" are the norm rather than the exception which creates a clusterfuck of a mosaic if you want to legally read the manga that are available that way. Comparatively MangaDex is a single centralised experience that is relatively complete.
"We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem" (Gabe Newell ~2011)
