That’s not what buying means or at least not the “buying” I am talking about. I mean I give some amount of money and I receive a download of the purchased material, free of DRM. There is no subscription involved. Like Steam (with no DRM) or GoG, but for movies and shows instead of games.

Music went through this many years ago.
iTunes would have drm’d music files. Amazon too, I think.
Then at some point it all became sane and I could buy an MP3 and download it.
Steam provides licenses, you don’t own the software. If your account is banned, you lose it all. Death? You guessed it, lost access (officially).
That’s why I said without DRM. Some games on steam don’t have DRM, as far as I understand. Otherwise GoG.
