I am ashamed that I hadn’t reasoned this through given all the rubbish digital services have pulled with “purchases” being lies.

I'm not going to look up every state, but the Penal Code in some states explicitly define theft as:

A person commits an offense if he unlawfully appropriates property with intent to deprive the owner of property.

So, I think it is reasonable to include intent to deprive as part of the definition.
