Market has accepted this for every other digital medium. Only people that will complain here are maybe old school gamers set in their ways and people that are in to "pirating" or "borrowing" games for free. New generation of gamers will see this as perfectly normal as this is how their other devices function already.
While you can't buy used Retro games, you will be able to buy new retro games for a very low price. I bought all PC Sonic the Hedgehog games(20+ games) on Steam few months ago for less than 60 bucks.
And you do own games this way. You own them digitally. People don't understand that these consoles are X86 based, which is essentially the final frontier. I expect that the next few generations of consoles will all be X86 based with full backwards compatibility. Everything you buy, you will own and will follow you around, much like it does on an iPhone or Samsung Gallaxy.
