So Apple are pretty much anti-freedom, since they for example don't like competing browsers (which are FOSS) and they don't allow them in their store. They also don't like people installing something they don't control, so they try to forbid it with DRM and other junk. The whole idea of lock-in is anti-freedom, since it reduces choice.

Preventing others from reducing choice is the epitome of anti-freedom. With freedom, you have to take the bad with the good, and trust in humanity that the good will outweigh the bad.

That's a fallacy of the same sort as party slogans from Nineteen Eighty-Four, just reversed. There they said "Freedom is slavery". What you are saying is "Tyranny is freedom" (since tyrants should be free to oppress). That's simply bunk. Tyranny is not freedom.
