So if there is no real user limitation using an upgraded pirated version of windows then what is the point of having a legal key in the first place! I am seeing stories about it being unsupported but no one seems to know what that really means.

It's as intended to be a benefit to Microsoft as to the end user. Same reason they officially allow critical updates for non-legitimate copies of Windows 7 and 8 - the less broken Windows systems on the internet, the better.
