I am not able to articulate this point more, as it seems self evident to me. And to be honest, at this point it's mostly grammar we are discussing, as others gave very detailed replies to my "why".
It seems the answers you want are detailed to the point of knowing how the code works. I'm simply explaining things from the point of view of a player interacting with the game. Retainers and chocobos are npcs who hold things for you, you own the stuff they hold but you can't use it unless you take it from them. The same as how you can't use the hammer your friend is holding, even if you own the hammer. I'm sorry I offended you with trying to be concise.
