If you read the terms and conditions on the web site you're buying from, you'll be fully informed before you buy precisely what it is that you're buying. I think you'll find that you are buying a restricted licence. This is a fact, not merely "what some publishers claim".
If you find the terms of sale objectionable the choice is simple - exercise your choice as a consumer not to buy.
All the information is there for you to see before you make your purchase.
