You’re probably talking to an old feller who still drives to Best Buy to purchase music CDs and PC software on DVDs.

I have hundreds of CDs, and I paid store price on probably no more than a half dozen of them.

I kind of like the old paradigm-you buy the CD, you own the music for as long as you have the CD. It's not a license to listen to the music on a specific device, it's the music itself. If you sell, give, or bequeath the CD to someone else, that person then owns the music. No "terms and conditions" to accept. Just play it and enjoy.

I like my software the same way.

We bought every iteration of Adobe CS, it came on a DVD and we could install it whenever and wherever we wanted, then they said we couldn’t buy it anymore, we could only rent it, for $30 a month. The moment we stop renting the software our files become incompatible with our DVD version and we will be screwed.

I did it anyway, bought Adobe CC, but man I really dislike renting software!

Sort of like radio, cool.
