Precisely because it is impossible to try out when buying this way.
I don’t really care about EU laws, especially ones which are written with such a poor understanding of how media differs from other products. A simple provision that media (books, music, tv shows, movies, etc.) once consumed a single time are exempt from returns for the simple fact that you’ve gotten the value of the good and thus it’s not legally fair for you to reclaim the money exchanged would have indicated at least a basic awareness of those who drafted the law.
