Freedom of speech was restricted in that case by a legal decision, as in the law was used to restrict free speech.
That's completely different from a company freely refusing to serve a customer because of opinions they expressed.
The customer would have no basis to challenge under the HRA, because there's no law or legal decision governing the refusal.
