Yes it is obscure fine print. Do you really think the vast majority of people know they won't be able to read the book they paid for on another device sometime down the line?
The Craigslist analogy is not to my liking. I'd say it's more like going to a store where things have always been done a certain way, and having the sales clerk mumble something incomprehensible while he takes your money. People are used to buying books and owning them, and that's what they think they're still doing.
