The only features we are missing is the Family/Friends cloud ability. And honestly, its an easy fix if they just limit it to digital content.
What you may be assuming is that people were uninformed about the new features. A few anecdotal stories about people you know, or heard from other people about misinformation do not necessarily make it true for everyone.
Contrary to what you may think, MS didn't make all those policies because of piracy, MS was trying to control was the used/rental game market. And for many people, that is a critical feature of physical discs. It would seem that being able to resell the disc or loan it out as a person sees fit trumps "cloud gaming" and the features rolled into it.
I am happy that MS backtracked on their stance about resale and always on. And now the Xbone is back to a buying consideration for me.
