You have the legal right to do so, yes. You'd have to probably jailbreak your console, which is also your full legal right to do so.

There is nothing legally stopping you from doing the same thing for iOS and you can become an iOS developer much cheaper than a Gabe developer.
Legally, yes, you also have the right to do this in iOS.

Unfortunately, Apple often disagrees. They have tried to make multiple frivolous lawsuits against people doing exactly this, over the years.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what your rights are, if a company is willing to spend a bunch of money trying to submit illegal lawsuits to bankrupt you.

Citations?
A Citation that Apple wanted to criminalize jailbreaking?

That is a clear example of a bad actor.
