Netflix doesn't sell you movies, it sells you access to their services. If you look at their site now, it offers you to "create or restart your membership" to their "streaming services".
If he purchased Netflix membership for a year and lost access before that year is up, I'm sure he'd be equally miffed.
Minecraft sells you the game - even right now, their site says "Get Minecraft" - in fact, it defaulted to Japanese for me where it says "MINECRAFTを購入" which is an even more unambiguous "BUY MINECRAFT".
It is like the difference between buying a e-book on Amazon and having it removed remotely, versus a book being removed from Kindle Unlimited. You have to be willfully obtuse to not understand why people might have different expectation for the two types of transactions, legalese in be damned.
