That is a silly way to look at things. No one ever owns their house either?
At least personal property tax on vehicles is tax deductible if you itemize. Pure vehicle registration fees aren't. I think all states have registration fees, so it is semantics in wording between states and nothing more.
The state with $50 in registration fees and $300 in personal property doesn't "own" your vehicle in contrast to the state with $250 in registration feels and $0 personal property.
