You all remember just a few weeks ago when Sony ripped away a bunch of movies and TV shows people “owned”? This ad is on Amazon. You can’t “own” it on Prime. You can just access it until they lose the license. How can they get away with lying like this?
For me it's preparing for future nostalgia, I want to be able to just "have it' to look back on. It may sound strange to some people I guess but I can't properly get "invested" in a show/movie/game without the knowledge that I'll be able to rewatch it again, maybe at some point when I'm in my 80s and feel nostalgic about it. It's a major barrier to my enjoyment in the present. It's like why people take photos of things. 99% of what I would torrent are things I have access to now, that I would happily pay through the nose for if I could just own it in a DRM-free format.
