The problem here is the argument in favor of extreme freedom of choice is "I do what I want" is not a mature or rational ideology. Other than circular rhetoric

The problem here is the argument in favor of extreme freedom of choice is "I do what I want" is not a mature or rational ideology. Other than circular rhetoric around the idea of "freedom" no attempt is even made to justify the public or societal harms that this ideology opens the doors to. Why a simple cost benefit analysis isn't sufficient to plonk a ban in place is something of a mystery if you remove catering to petulant individuals as an objective.
Edit: If you think there's something incorrect with dismissing individuals ability to externalize harms to other blameless individuals I've got a 50 gallon drum of spent motor oil I'd like to externalize on your lawn. Explain why that's problematic.
