What makes you say so?
GoG about page explicitly talks about owning, and terms even explicitly mention advance notification so you can download Dr free versions if they will ever become unavailable.
GoG terms do not qualify purchases as temporary access licenses - only to the degree of servicing downloads as long as possible and without other limitation.

You know that’s the exception to the general trend though right? GoG has good terms, most others do not.
Physical media still is a better way to go than digital whenever possible.
