I think most of us would be happy with something significantly less than unrestricted lending. Maybe we can only lend it to the same account once, and/or maybe we have to wait a reasonable period of time once between lending. But making it so we can only lend a book once, ever, somehow feels even more draconian than the current situation where we can't lend books at all.

From another perspective; public and private libraries and paper book sharing between friends and co-workers has not yet decimated the paper book industry after several centuries.
