A more sensible option (if anything about this can be called "sensible") would be to rate limit installs. Say, 10/month. Realistically, it's hard to imagine a scenario where someone would be installing and uninstalling a game that many times under legitimate circumstances.
Would steam verifying files count as an install?
Actually there are many: the game is buggy and you need to fix a bug, modding, not enough space, testing, etc.
