-- would you spend more renting than owning?

This isn't. The answer is always no, but the answer is also irrelavant if
the answer to the first question is yes.

That's not true. In some cases, the answer is "no" and in other cases the
answer is "yes".

For example, if you fly an airplane as much as a given airplane being rented
gets flown and the owner of the rented airplane isn't losing money, it's a
given that it would cost you less to own the airplane yourself than to rent
it.

The break-even is actually somewhere else, at a lower utilization, but the
above is trivially true and suffices as a counter-proof to your claim.
