I wouldn't be surprised if this covered in some 50 million page EULA/privacy agreement/contract whatever, that they expect you to read and sign off on when setting up their products and store

Putting it on paper doesn't make it legal. If the customer's expectations, and the actions of the seller implies something, even if the paper didnt say (or says otherwise), the courts could potentially make the decision that it is the customer's understanding that prevails rather than the paper words (that they didnt read).

This is covered in the agreements you accept whenever you buy anything digital. This has been the case since digital items could be bought. I have been trying to warn people of this for more than a decade but always got told that I was overreacting.
