Amazon offers you the opportunity to buy a Kindle book. But you are clearly not buying, rather licensing, as they make quite clear.

This seems like false advertising; or alternately that a customer could demand to keep/own the item since that word was used.

Why are Amazon and other vendors able to do this without being stopped by lawsuits or legal enforcement?

You can “buy” a licence

Buy simply means exchanging money for goods or services. A licence is a service that can be bought.
