It seems to me that not all public library systems are created equally. Some are well funded, others are not. Priorities will also vary depending on the specific population of people using the library. Therefore we can disagree about how serious a problem this is and the degree to which publisher policies have any effect on things, and of course, what our individual experience is.
Personally, I’m very satisfied with my library borrowing experience as it is. It is true that many titles I’m otherwise interested in are not available for digital lending as publishers do not make them available or affordable for libraries to purchase, but I approach it as ‘glass is half full’ rather than ‘glass is half empty’.
