The point is sort-of the official reasoning behind the rules as they are. People will promise they'd accept all consequences of their actions. But we restrict people's freedom to trade away their own future freedom to such a degree. You can sign up for the Army for 5 years, yes. You can't sell yourself into indentured servitude. Somewhere in between those two, there's a (vague) line we've decided to draw.

Very comparable: the idea of just letting unvaccinated people die in hospital parking lots. Yes, they were stupid. Yes, they were told about as much. But no, that's not the sort of offense that warrants the death penalty. No, not even if you suspect they'd gladly let you die of your delayed reaction to the vaccine, if that were actually a thing.
