When you buy something from a streaming service you're only buying the right to stream it, nothing more.
You can't compare it to owning physical media because there are ongoing costs involved for Amazon to host it and ever changing contracts with media companies outlining what they are allowed to host.
Then what do you call a video rental?
...A temporary right to stream? What even is the point of this question that's asked as some sort of gotcha?
What's it to you?
Thanks for the reply, I kinda wanted to downvote you again.
Ouch! My feelings are hurt... Lol don't. Be a turd plz
