Why is buying used games such a big deal nowadays?

No, you can't. That's what the DRM systems stops you from doing. 

Specialty stores like Gamestop CAN take in your Xbox One games but they have to deactivate them somehow through MS servers.

You can no longer freely trade your games back and forth between 2 people. There needs to be a middle man and that is Microsoft or Gamestop.

You do not understand. Let me try to be more clear.

You can trade your games back and forth. If you gave your game to a friend, Microsoft is not going to stop you. 

The console cannot play those games. But you have no right to what the console is able to do.

DRM stops the console from playing used games. It does NOT stop you from trading or lending or selling your used games.

Trading/lending/selling =/= playing.

That's the whole fucking point.
