There is an overlap between ownership and access.

Reduced access is bad.

Reduced ownership is bad only if it leads to reduced access.

I have a lot of books here at home that I haven't read in a long time. If I didn't own them that would not affect me in any way, since their resell value is very low. My exclusive ownership of these books makes them highly inefficient.

Same goes for a lot of stuff that people own but hardly ever use. Owning fewer things is not necessarily bad.
