Microsoft Clarify Family Sharing, Wasn’t Only Demos

As it stands, one can loan and sell a disc to an unlimited amount of people who can play a game in entirety. What's so hard to understand?

The part where they're trying to stop this because it's so bad for the industry while simultaneously implementing a system to enable you to do just that with up to 9 other people (or perhaps infinite other people, assuming you would have been free to leave one family group and join another). And not just people you know in real life, but random people you've met on the internet.

Maybe it's not actually so hard to understand. It's just impossible to believe.

I don't recall MS stating that sharing was bad for the industry, but that family sharing is the tradeoff for losing transferrable physical media. I assume that the catch to this was that jumping family groups was not possible or at least very restricted. And that family groups are mutually exclusive. And again, it's nothing you can't already do with discs.

This is all beside the point, you are tilting at windmills because this has been and gone.
