Agreed. I hate, however, that I don't "own" the games, I can't play game A on computer 1 and game B on computer 2 at the same time even though I bought game A and game B.
You can with Family Sharing. It also can be done a bit easier with some games that are otherwise DRM free by just running the executable from its install directory instead of through steam. Like Kerbal Space Program.
The latter method will even sometimes allow you to play the same game on two machines over the internet. I don't know if you can do that with Family Share.
Back when I tried it you had to go offline on one of the computers for that to work
