Yes that’s why you can buy software and sell the computer with the licenses following along it, assuming you don’t keep copies separately

Yeah… virtually every software license disagrees with you. You can’t transfer a steam account, you (according to Microsoft) can’t even transfer the OS license.
Personally I agree that we should be able to do so, but that exactly what is being argued - publishers are ignoring first sale doctrine

FYI it doesn’t matter what the license says if the law disagrees
