Why do you consider that total freedom of an oblivious individual fucking their finances is a good thing for society? As a society we are actually here to help others with our experiences, if the experience of a cashier with multiple fraudulent transactions can help a soul to not be a sucker, why shouldn't they use that power?

Why do you consider "lawful" as the only measure of "good"?

Freedom is important
Avoiding financial distress and/or ruin is important as well.

How you balance this equation is the hard part that takes effort and deep thinking and the subject to much discussion in many fields of philosophy.

Being a maximalist is the road to stupid dogmatic behaviour. The path to radical extremism.

Those are not even in the same league
Those what? I feel you aren't really interested in engaging on a discussion here, throwing hot takes and platitudes isn't very conducive to have a conversation...
