You make a fair point but in Bandcamp's case they offer a download like Steam or streamed playback if someone prefers. It's the one place where I DON'T HAVE to resort to piracy or buying massive collections of CDz if I want to be able to listen to music without restriction. I want to pay the people who did the creative work. I don't want to pay a whole bunch of people with a small fraction of it reaching the original creator.
I'm weird that I do listen to the same 7 song album for hours some days. (Turbo being one example)
But also other artists I listen to like Michael Jackson aren't on Bandcamp and I haven't found a local used CD shop since I last moved. They also aren't stuffing money I'd give for Michael's music into his grave anyway.
