GoG Vault would disagree with you on that.

They are free to disagree on laws but they are still bound by them.

You can download the full installers and keep them, nobody can take them away or disable it remotely

That’s true but if your license is revoked, you’re illegally in possession of the game assets.

It’s less clear than you say.

In principle the First-sale doctrine should apply but it has not caught up with reality yet.

That’s not how it works but hey, you do you

It 100% is how it works. Read that EULA next time you install one of those games via the installer you downloaded from gog.
