They explicitly say that they don't rule on shrink-wraps. However, once you say
that the original transaction is a contract of sale and that the user is the
"owner", most clickwrap style contracts should fall apart for lack of
consideration since, as you pointed out, they don't give you anything at all
that you don't have by virtue of being the owner.
