Yes, that's how I usually explain programming to someone unexperienced with it. A computer programming language is usually more strictly defined, but depending on compiler and architecture results can differ in computer progamming as well.

The point is that you probably make their life easier by rolling your own crypto.

Well, most modern cryptography is based on assumptions that can not be proven, so having different standards based on different assumptions is probably the only way to safeguard against if one of the assumptions would be proven false in the future.

You do have the right to sell your domain for any price, but I guess it could be seen as owning a rental contract..
