That's how we define freedom. Freedom isn't anarchy with no rules.
In the US, people would still argue that they have freedom, even though they are not free to slaughter their neighbours without some sort of punishment.

Similarly, proprietary is unethical because it implies restrictions on its users. The owner of the software has control over the users of his software; which violates the above principle.
