They'll have to solve DRM & console piracy to do this, which even with Denuvo & decent closed platform security they haven't. At best they've only had DRM for a few months before a crack is achieved, and Denuvo is extremely expensive to publishers which is why they opt out of it after that initial period, usually.
The only way I can see a leasing model succeeding is if everything goes to game-streaming and local gaming is no longer a thing.
AI goes both ways too. It can be used to find exploits just as easily, if not more easily, than it can be used to patch them.
