Why is buying used games such a big deal nowadays?

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

Actually you do! You "own" the hardware, not license it.
You are free to jail-break it so that the system is able to do other things, like have Windows installed to play PC games much akin to what some people did with the origional Xbox, plenty of legal precedents have been set over that so it's not illegal or immoral.

Fine, you can jailbreak your system. But I thought it was fairly obvious that people were discussing the console's capability immediately after the purchase. None of us has a right to say what the console should or shouldn't be capable of when we first buy it.
