Libraries buy books, and the circulation numbers of those books are one of the factors looked at by the publishing companies determining whether or not they're going to publish that next book. So no, it's not unreasonable to approve of the method that actually has some benefit for the author, and disapprove of stealing.

Pirates buy books too, and there's no reason why the publisher couldn't get the number of downloads and feature it in their calculations.

A lot of publishers are surprisingly old fashioned. They are not going to trawl multiple dodgy download sites looking for numbers. If they want stats of circulation not directly affected by them, they will look to libraries, not a load of (by their very nature) hard to find and navigate free download pages.
