Why is this a deal breaker?

The CIA works on behalf of corporations. They can't employ people that have stolen from their bosses.

It also puts you more at risk of using a botnetted computer, that's about the only reason I see for denying clearances.
That said, I know a few people with TS+ clearance and they all have gotten tons of DMCA notices.

"carefully evaluated" means exactly that. CIA is "the establishment". They want people who follow orders and respect authority. If you're pirating shit because you're poor and cheap they probably tolerate that a lot more than if you're pirating for the sake of doing so because "fuck the establishment".

Because the kind of person who feels okay with pirating shit online is the kind of person who matches the psychological profile of the Assanges and Snowdens of the world.
