It's not an "arbitrary set of values" - it's called consumer rights.
And just like your right to free speech, right to vote, right to be treated as an equal and not be discriminated because of some part of your identity etc., consumer rights have been hard-won rights too.
Apple can customise their products as much as they want, but not at the expense of our rights. They can, and should, operate within that limit, as otherwise these rights becomes meaningless and leads to abuse.
