On the one hand you suggest that one should stop "creating free data, if
at the same time you restrict it's free-ness". On the other hand you
oppose removing existing restrictions of the free-ness of our data that
actually prevent people from using that supposedly free data.

Is there any consistent motivation underlying your arguments beyond not
wanting to change anything?
