This was way more confusing than it had to be.

TL;DR: You can lend your digital games to friends & family for 14 days, but both consoles need to connect locally to enable this...(?)

You can't play digital games you've lent out during this time. I guess the point is making it similar to giving your friend a physical game cartridge.

you should be able to use games within your family completely unlimited anyway.

I would understand the local connection requirement if that was for sharing with people outside your family. that would make it similar to sharing a game with a friend you know in person. without that the floodgates would be open to sharing games with literally anyone online.
