"Can I have that once you're finished with it?" Physical newspapers are subject to being given away by the original purchaser (or getting picked up from cafe tables or pulled from trashcans—people used to leave the damned things lying around everywhere), if you can't afford to pay for them. It's a bit more difficult to do that with digital content.
I guess gift links are a bit similar but obviously at a much smaller scale. I'm not sure how a fully similar digital system to sharing newspapers could be setup while still funding decent journalism.
I don't hate paywalls though because I get it but I can't say I've ever subscribed to get around one.
