Most of them don't claim the right to remove your access/reclaim the books. (Libraries do; that makes it very clear that library ebooks are not sales or gifts.)
The point is, if they want tell end users that they're not buying the book and can't resell it or give it away when they're done, they can't *also* tell the authors that those are sales, not licenses, for the purpose of royalties.
