Maybe it is simply a terminology issue, but what you describe, I would call it responsibility rather than ownership. Ownership implies strong exclusivity. Agree with your post otherwise.

I agree that responsibility is what we are actually looking for.
The term 'ownership' is popular in product teams [1] and in engineering career frameworks [2]. In the second example, it's defined as "The rest of that story is about owning increasingly heavy responsibilities". Even github allows defining code ownership through the CODEOWNERS files.
