This would be case-by-case in Steam. There are some games which really do sell under "irrevocable license to play" (which, short of granting copyright privileges, is about as close as you can get to ownership for a digital product). Other games on Steam do not.

I think it would highlight the differences between publishers / studios more than store fronts.

Far from it. E.g. excludes resale.

		For digital products, that would mean copyright privileges. Else there is no definition of "buy" that applies to GOG sales either.
