You have to pay to use a rental car, but you don't own it. Do you think that rental cars can't be stolen?

Yet another nonsense comparison. If you steal a car, rental or otherwise, the owner won't have it anymore. If you somehow figure out a way to make an exact duplicate of the car and then return the original, you have not stolen anything.

You have to pay to use a heated seat now, but you don't own it. Do you think that heated seats can't be bypassed?

But you could also theoretically buy that car and own it. If you bought that car no one would say, well, you only paid for the right to drive it temporarily.

Yeah things can be stolen even if you don't/can't own it. The analogy may be a little off, but whatever gets the message across I guess.
