No, it's rather that the economy is saying that the overhead and labor to manage renting - the handling of issuing/recovering that dozen tools and the associated issues with payments, damage, fraud/theft, etc - is too large and it's cheaper/more effective to simply mass-manufacture more cheap tools. The renting solution would have more GDP, because it would simply be more expensive - and that's why it doesn't really exist.
