Has anyone suggested that they do? There's no reason that ebook licensing models have to be an exact duplicate of paper book sales. A library might, for example, decide to license 5 copies of a popular book in the year it's initially released, and then reduce that to 2 copies the next year when its popularity has declined and there are fewer requests for loans of it. Time-limited licensing gives them that flexibility. Most libraries have storerooms full of books that nobody ever looks at.
