This is exactly why you are wrong. It has already been done, but the publishers won't allow it. There is no inherent reason that the old rules can not continue for the old possibilities. It is already technically possible to lend 1 digital copy to 1 and only 1 person at a time. They have made a deliberate choice to prevent it.

Yes, new rules have to be made for the new possibilities (lending to multiple people at the same time), but that is not what we're talking about.
