In a lot of cases, "owning" is less good and using the word "own" to describe it is just misleading.
Like how shareholders "own" a company. Funny kind of owning. "Owning" a field; it's not like you can take it home in the back of your car; it's not like owning a pair of shoes.
The problem with words here isn't people making up another meaning of "own"; it's that "own" is used for a lot of cases where, frankly, people just don't "own" it.
