What is the point of Denuvo in BF2042 if the game is online only?

Title. Why is it necessary that Battlefield 2042 uses a DRM if the game already has to be tied to an EA account to be able to play.

Mainly because you can get the game on pirated sites already. Knowing that the hackers breached Denuvo ages ago Im not sure why they chose that DRM
