These are almost always bundled with software installers. Having shared libraries is something that's only used for specific libraries that are widely available. The standard way of distributing software (even on Linux in most cases) avoids using shared system libraries. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm saying that on Linux it historically tried to be the norm which ultimately lead to the failure of Linux desktop.
Exclusively relying on shared libraries a complete pipe dream and doesn't work in the real world. Your 5 desktop Electron apps all ship with their own entire Chromium browser/runtime and your 10 video games all have their own Unity runtime even if they're all using the same runtime versions. You cannot avoid code duplication and library duplication unless you go full autism mode and never use 99.9% of software.

>How do I gain 'ownership' of these drives?
sudo blkid # to check your drive UUID
sudo nano /etc/fstab # edit this
UUID=DRIVE_UUID /path/to/mountpoint ext4 defaults,uid=yourusername,gid=yourgroupname 0 2 # replace ext4 with your FS,
I think this should work. Normally your disk formatting utility would ask you to set up the storage without ever requiring root.
>Also is there a fairly straightforward software way of making these HDDs mirror each other for backup purposes
It's not very straightforward, but borg backup can be used for this. You'll have to use the docs or ask a random AI to help you set it up. Alternatively you can use Syncthing if you want an easy GUI option, but I'm not sure if it allows you to create a backup on the same machine as the data source.
