Pretending everything is just a limited "license" and restricting our right to use our property is a key part of how they keep getting away with DRM.

Yep - if I wanted to buy a "license" then I would do so. I buy, I own. So why do Amazon etc say "buy a book"? Surely this is misleading advertising, they should say "buy a book license".
