I don't understand how you make that leap. Physical books can be copied or stolen. We are still allowed to own and buy and sell them without any unbreakable system to track their ownership, or a register of who has the right to read the book at any given time, or anything of the sort.

Ownership in that sense is contingent on there being a physical object that is expensive to reproduce. The only way of mimicking that for ebooks is DRM.
