I don't think that analogy holds up. Maybe: does the typewriter manufacturer own meta data such as letter frequency, average work length, etc that their product calculates based on your usage?

Once money exchanged hands, it's not their product, it's mine, as is _all_ of its output, including logs, etc.

This already isn't the case in many instances where you don't actually "own" the thing, you just have a license to use it.
