I'm not sure how true that is as a general statement. Definitely yes for digital content that used to be shipped on physical media: music, movies, software, books to some degree. Uber and Zipcar (and competitors)--along with incremental public transit and cycling infrastructure along with e-bikes--have probably made it marginally easier to get off without owning a car in some locations.
But other than that I can't think of a lot of examples.
The number of homeowners in the US has plateaued after the Great Recession while the number of people who rent housing has been increasing since then. Yes, your clothes and kitchen appliances are safe for now, but who knows for how long?: https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2016/11/10/s...
It might not be the worst idea to make renting houses normal and just as convenient as owning. If rental laws were fixed to provide extreme stability and decent rights, you'd only own for investment purposes. And you wouldn't have extreme upwards pressure from renters trying to buy at any cost to avoid shitty renting conditions.
We really should allow renters to stay indefinitely at rentals and also pass on the general maintenance responsibilities on to them as well.
Renting things like appliances doesn't make sense since you require exclusive access to them and generally use them for their entire lifespan. While houses mostly exist before and after your need for them.
But other than that I can't think of a lot of examples.
