On the plus side, once you've found somewhere you like you can stay there as long as you want. If you rent it's up to the owner how long you can live there
True, but there's always the risk that where you like living changes over time and becomes HELL 20-30 years down the road. And I have seen this happen among several of my family members.
When you rent, sure, you can't stay forever, but you have visibility at 2 years down the road (depends on the country where you live, but where I do the owner cannot get you out for the duration of your lease, and that's usually 2 years).
