This is absolutely true! You don't really "own" something you have to keep paying and renewing every year! I cannot imagine doing that with my apartment!
To me the domain name, just to keep it in a kinda philosophical yet romantic definition, is your special and unique shade of color in the spectrum of the rainbow that is the internet. And there are millions ans millions to choose from!
