All actions like this do is destroy consumer confidence in purchasing games when they could end up being punished for disagreeing or criticising a games publisher and their anti-cheat implementation for legitimate reasons.
The danger of not physically owning the software you purchase is that you are reliant on the DRM provider not going bust or deciding that you can't access the content you paid for on a whim any more and keeping your money. But then for a good number of games, it's the likes of Steam or bust if you want to play them on PC.
I think centralization of platforms invariably leads to corruption, becoming antithetical to the purpose of it. People usually go along with it initially, because of the convenience and apparent efficiency. However, as it becomes corrupt, it loses convenience and efficiency.
Corruption of platforms and institutions is more rapid in the West's apathy, falling toward collapse, and rampant systemic corruption. Even seemingly benign institutions like gaming are being affected. This is because foundational ideas of civilization have been changed, through the natural rise and fall of civilizations, as well as intentional brainwashing through globalist controlled schools and media. A change of foundational ideas affects the entire system, with wide sweeping consequences far beyond what most people would consider. The people in power also infiltrate, corrupt, and weaponize any medium which can be used to control people, like gaming.

It sucks, but it's unsurprising what's happening.
