Some freedoms are trade-offs with other people's freedoms, e.g. freedom of movement vs freedom to not get covid. That's where your perspective fits. But other freedoms are more win-win or win-neutral situations and don't require trade-offs. But I agree that the ratio between the former and the latter tends to increase as society becomes more developed and free. There's also an important difference between negative and positive rights/freedoms. I notice that this discussion nests inside moral philosophy. We need to grapple with the tools and constructs in that discipline when thinking about freedom.
