People have returns returns from Costco denied and have their memberships cancelled for abusing the system.

You sound like the type of person who has a problem with Dropbox offering unlimited storage and then reneging when people upload 17 petabytes of anime.
Costco has a no-questions-asked return policy, and demo-ing your purchase is absolutely part of the expectation for how people will use said policy. Steam even explicitly includes "it wasn't fun" as a valid return option, as long as you reached that conclusion quickly enough.
To be clear, I'm not saying the policy is wrong, it's clearly designed to prevent abuse, I'm just saying that it's not no-questions-asked.
