Do you really want to own all your music?
Rhetorically, it sounds like an obvious "yes", but if I personally think back to all the stuff I got as a teenager and hardly ever listen to anymore, not owning it might be entirely fine.
Ownership is less of a burden when there's no physical media, of course, and there's still some old music everyone keeps coming back to. But a lot of music is ephemeral, and only having access to it when it's current might not be so bad.
