It’s kind of funny how everyone is up in arms about this now (and for good reasons), when like, that’s how copyright has always worked? You don’t own anything that’s copyrighted, except for what you yourself create and get a copy-monopoly on.

Like, you are kinda right in one way, but there’s a difference between owning the intellectual property vs owning a thing. It should be understood by most people that they are not buying the IP. They do, however, expect to own the product they paid for. The company is trying to equate owning the IP to owning every copy of the product they sell with the right to revoke your access to the thing you bought and not have to give you your money back. That is their argument. This is some bullshit, and everyone knows it.
