Publishers are quite happy to allow eBooks to be priced higher, even though they're more restricted than paperbacks; a little thing like making them time-limited is unlikely to trouble them enough to make them decrease the price.

You are probably right. But logic says if I can buy a hard cover book for $25 and lend it out 50 times, an ebook should be no more than half that price. But logic is not a prerequisite to being a publisher. However, I think librarians are a little more savvy.
