That's not the ownership though, that's a subscription to a service. Ownership is something like buying songs on iTunes not listening to them on Apple music.
You can buy individual movies on Amazon without a subscription. This doesn't mean you own it. If they stop hosting it, it's gone.
But that is where the difference is, that's not streaming or at least not as the term is used. That was a purchase of a specific title.
Whether it's subscribed, "purchased" or free, if you don't have the full file to copy and do what you want with it, it's streaming.
