    But that still is somewhat odd, like if I buy a car I can take it to any mechanic to get it fixed or modified. I would then need to pay them, but I own the car.

    The mechanic should not be arrested for modifying my car.

    I suppose the “grey zone” is if the modifications allow the owner to access unpaid content. Like maybe heated seats ;)

      It depends on whether you rent or own. You rent a flat and you cannot do what you want. Unfortunately, with games, most law is set up so you rent them and are buying a licence to play them within the conditions set out. It sucks, but that is how it is set up.
