No. Because a pirated experience will always be 'better' if you're intent on justifying your actions in that way. They have no costs, no licensors, no restrictions, no need to adhere to the spellings preferred by the original creators, no need to justify their existence by always being flawless, no need to support different platforms and technologies, no need to be accessible to people from different backgrounds, no need to hold themselves back for the Japanese airdate; there are no rules at all. The pirates can deliver a 'better' product because they are taking someone else's hard work and rereleasing it without any of the niceties. They don't even need to know a single word of Japanese any more now they clone the legal streams, so they can optimise their skillsets for the difficult things which really matter - like font choices, apparently.
I also personally think that the typesetting in that shot of the books is rubbish, because it's incredibly hard to read compared to the Japanese or the ugly subs. The randomly rotated text to fit the gap is a weird choice when there's abundant space on the unsubtitled book next to it, if we're going to nitpick text placement that much. In any case, the purpose of subtitles isn't to beautifully augment the original work with English-translated equivalents - the industry tried that before and everyone hated it. It's to dump text information on the screen for the viewer to absorb while focusing on the art. I like BD subtitles more than DVD ones because they're cleaner, naturally, but hiding the text around the image and changing the font/colour doesn't make it any more accessible. Furthermore, in my mind it isn't an important enough enhancement to justify screwing the creators over.
I find it depressing that people fall back to the pirated versions before taking the small amount of time necessary to research options which support the industry first, but since you also didn't read the forum rules or take the time to consider that the MVM industry thread was an insensitive place to start bragging about this stuff in the first place, I should probably not be surprised. I'll calm down eventually but as a piece of advice, apologising when you're in the wrong then immediately tagging on a "Besides..." to argue your position in the same breath is not a good way to appear convincingly apologetic.
