NFTs or blockchains are not needed for this. You could just implement selling or transfers in the content platform.
I do think using contacts for escrow and having the SEL being independent from the vendor are cool features, bit not at all essential ones.

Okay but what happens when the platform goes away, or decides to change the rules? That`s the only part I could see NFTs actually potentially answering. If the ownership verification was all done client-side via a blockchain it could potentially survive the shutdown of the store you bought it from.
Don’t get me wrong, I can see problems with this. And potentially this could also be done with simple public key cryptography.

Yes, but that’s a different, independent problem.
