Sony lawyers argue that nobody is stupid enough to believe they actually own digital games, because then only one person could buy GTA 6 (www.gamesradar.com)

By that same logic wouldn’t second party stores (such as sony… since they don’t own every game they sell…) also not own the IP, so therefore wouldn’t be authorized to actually sell said IP via the licenses?

They have agreements to sell individual licenses via their store...

Often ridiculously lucrative agreements, like 30% of the sale price lucrative.

If they didn't have that deal, yes, they'd be breaking the law.

Did you really not know the difference between an end user and a storefront?

for purchased goods from a store you can do significantly more with than most commercially licensed software
