For the same reason that YouTube music refuses to play offline content stored on your phone until there's a live internet connection - particularly helpful when you're outside of coverage.
That reason is that you are the product and playing without being tracked doesn't make any money.
No, it's not the same; not even slightly! Youtube Music is a monthly subscription, whereas Ubisoft presents the transaction as a sale. Ubisoft has no right to gatekeep your property away from you.
I'm not saying that the two are the same.
I'm pointing out that you are prevented from using either service offline because they want to track your behaviour in order to monetize your data.
