Your concerns about not being able to resell your unwanted crap at a garage sale or give used stuff to a relative or arbitrarily losing access to your content for running afoul of pretty-easy-to-adhere-to Terms of Service are hilariously pissant in comparison to the benefits the model genuinely delivers.

Except that digital distribution is not equivalent to DRM (ie Steam in this instance) that stops you from re-selling digital purchases due to licence agreements and measures put in place to uphold them.
When Direct2Drive existed, I could have sold my digitally purchased keys to anyone, borrowed them, shared or swapped them with anyone.
Digital Distribution != DRM.
