the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.
Then what are? Why wouldn't the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell be requirements for ownership?
If "ownership" doesn't have a unified meaning, then I can interpret "ownership" as the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell the bought item.
I think that a lot of the "laziness" comes from alienation from your labour. People are going to work the least amount to get their paycheck and if their job doesn't account for the effort they put in, they aren't going to do anything but the bare minimum.
