What's thus about?
Different standards being applied to physical vs. electronic books in copyright law. This is, for example, why the Internet Archive is not legally a library (even though it calls itself one), and thus it had to take more than 500,000 books out of lending.
The difference is limits. You have to wait for a book to be returned to a library, and giving someone a book isn't copying it and giving it to everyone.
Good, bad, or indifferent. They are not the same thing.
There is an app called Hoopla where you log in with your library card to access time-limited digital materials from the library. That is the actual equivalent to physical library rentals.
Oh, that is rather unfortunate. That is a weird thing that's happening
