Words should mean what they mean and not be weasel words in an ever changing terms of service that the company has complete control over.

Lanuage often changes to reflect useage. Kind of like how 'literally' literally has an official dictionary definition nowadays meaning 'figuratively'.

If companies use 'buy' to mean 'rent' or 'borrow', then eventually 'buy' will come to mean the same as 'rent' or 'borrow'.

What word will replace buy for ownership instead of it just ending up as meaning two completely different things?

I am complaining about companies knowingly using words differently than common usage, not the fact that words change over time.

No word will, buy will be done, you will never own anything in the future, only rent.
