People who download scores would never buy the score to begin with, (their just into free stuff) or wouldn't have the income to buy the scores anyway. (Such as the expensive multi disc sets).
You may choose to believe this, but it's nonsense.
I'll fully grant you that the major labels, when complaining about piracy, count every illegal download as a lost sale. This is also nonsense, for the reasons you state.
But you've created an equally false premise, that people who download from sharing sites "would never" buy even if the free alternative were not available to them. I know this to be false because I know these people, and in fact some post in this very forum (though most have been shamed into shutting up about it). What percentage is this? I have no idea. But score CDs sell poorly in the first place, so even a relatively small number of people who steal instead of buy can make an actual difference.
In our little echo chamber, we can easily convince ourselves of many things, including that all film score fans are collectors who hate downloads and streaming and Hans Zimmer. None of these things is actually true.
As for those of you who are bemoaning that this thread is barely about "The Monkey King 2," I'm finally starting to agree with you!

Hilariously enough, I just opened a package this morning with the Monkey 2 soundtrack inside. Because over the weekend I found 1 and 2 on Netflix, and immediately started watching 1 again, and looking forward to 2.
These are crazy movies, and people can say whatever they feel about the quality of the effects, but I think the first movie is an absolute delight, and no reason to think the second will be any different (or the third). After reading excerpts of the Journey to the West over the years (which this is adapted from, and surprisingly closely given that it's hundreds of years old), I actually started trekking through the whole 10 volume epic (or whatever it is).
And Young's music is some of the most fun I've heard in movies in many a year.
Very much looking forward to 3 when it comes out.
