Imagine you buy a car. After 10 years the manufacturer doesn't provide any spare parts and service checks.
Now you have to destroy your car.
Does it make sense?
If you lease you car you have to give it back.
If you license your games for the duration of them being active, then it makes sense.
The biggest issue, miscommunication, and often illegal practice is calling it buying when it is only a limited subscription. IIRC Steam recently (finally had to) change the wording away from "buying". Because it's not buying if you don't own the product afterwards.
ahem
lol.
At least we can buy Baldur's Gate 3 on GOG.
License agreements aren't laws.
And even if they were, laws don't have to be followed.
