you can game on high end equipment without buying it.

This is how they get you to give up ownership of your games. I'm fine with it as an option, but I fear that one day publishers will decide it should be the only option.

It's not exactly hard for me to make "backups" of most games I can download, as the DRM is usually cracked within weeks or months of release.

A single player game that is exclusive to streaming would just be gone forever the instant it gets delisted.

I agree with this, but what does it have to do with GeForce Now? They don't make any games exclusive on this platform... nor do they have rights to many other games that are exclusives. Beyond that, none of the games on GeForce Now are owned by the user because the games are available through Steam or Epic mostly.
