Before you could download licenses for everything you owned even without the game being installed. Now you must install a game first before you can get a license for it. This will have major implications for jail breaking.

Yeah, you're just flat wrong. MAYBE GoG has the least worst licensing around. A decent number of titles I've seen on there don't have DRM. Also itch.io and direct patreon/kickstarter purchases too. Any other platform, and unless specifically stated, you are just borrowing the game until they decide otherwise.

He'll, even physical purchases don't guarantee a game forever, the publisher or dev may turn off a server that just straight kills it.

Which games on GOG do you think have DRM? GOG's whole deal is they sell DRM-free games.

I just didn't want to make a blanket statement since I didn't know if it was every title or not.
