It's the inversion of something which is correct.
If you don't have any choice or are limited to a small number of bad options, that's not freedom. Freedom requires choice.
But choice is necessary, not sufficient. Having a thousand frivolous choices that are all bad and still not the ones you ought to have is not it either.
