While I agree it seems obvious you can’t do that, based on how these platforms have limited things for a long time… but that really should be something you can do.

Why can’t I get the file and put it on another device? Why can’t I burn it to a dvd? It makes sense that Apple aren’t required to make more software for random devices, but why can’t I have the file and do what I want with it?

Not at all (hence saying "obvious in hindsight"). Simply pointing out that, at the time, my purchasing decision wasn't influenced by how many use cases it would restrict.

Also, IIRC, there was a period where you could burn Audio CDs from music that you purchased on iTunes.

edit: turns out music purchased on iTunes is DRM-free!

Music purchased on iTunes is DRM-free, so you can definitely burn CDs with them.

Ah very nice. I suppose it makes sense that music is DRM-free but films aren't
