I think OP is saying that, while you can buy a book to read it, you do not own the copyright to that book. They're saying it's basically the same idea with GOG.
The illustration does break down, but I think their point still stands.

Good thing I don't use Tabs.
Most stores around me thankfully don't even use the weight station. I don't even think Walmart does anymore since they "upgraded" their checkouts recently. (The self checkouts have completely taken over and have a sort of open floor concept going on.)
That's an option at some stores in the US. I believe Walmart has that option for Walmart+ members, and I know Sam's Club has the option available in their app for all members.
Game still requires either full or limited data collection in order to play. It apparently asks you for permission after the intro cutscene.
Sadly, based on reviews for the game on GOG, while the game is technically DRM-free (in that it doesn't Emily any of the traditional DRM like Denuvo), it still requests either full or limited data collection.
In the US, you typically have to type in your debit/ credit card's info (the 16-digit number, the 3-digit security code, the cardholder's name, and the billing address on file with the bank) on a website in order to purchase something unless you're using PayPal, Google Pay, or something similar to that that the website supports. If you're using any of those, a pop-up usually opens asking for login info, then you select a card or bank account to use for the purchase.
Steam does actually tell you on the game's page if the game requires a 3rd party account to play.
Looks like links to it are completely blacklisted, too. That's rare to see.
Something something Doctor Who Cybermen.
IIRC, they've said they'll implement V3 to maintain compatibility, but they'll also continue to maintain V2. You, the extension developer, will not be forced to use V3 if you don't want to.
Like I said, the illustration does break down.
