I feel like you're a hypocrite if you have an issue with this and not the reverse.

I feel like there's quite a massive power disparity you're not accounting for. People "stealing" designs for headcasts and whatnot from products made by corporations doesn't tend to make a remotely noticeable dent in that corporations' profits, even if there is some actual loss of sales for that corporation. However, if a corporation steals a design for something from a small vendor, they stand to take a large portion of that vendor's business, causing significant harm to them.
