Surely objecting to my coffee roaster, my plumber etc is just assuming negative intentions behind it?
A good example is the person who is lead developer at my company. I refer to him as "my lead developer" sometimes in work conversations. Its not because I own him or he owes me, its because he's a crucial part of my business who I value and depend on and he's the only person in my company who leads development. It'd be the same if I ever felt I wanted to say "my coffee roaster". It'd be because I value their service and my relationship with them not because of some weird power play.
Edit: Of course, if I had ever shown a track record of entitlement to my coffee roaster or my lead dev, that would be different. Seems shitty to assume that though.
