No one is saying that keeping them past your licensed date is OK.

Well, kindlekitten seems to be saying that it would be ok for her as long as it's for her own personal use, but most of the rest of us aren't.
But, if you were to borrow say a DVD or an audio-book or a paper book and keep them past the due date without renewing, then you get fined. Why is it OK to keep digital library materials past the due date?

What I want to know though is if you borrow an eBook from the library, strip the DRM, read the book (no matter how long it takes), will you delete all copies of it after you are done reading?
