While I am glad that you have the choice to be a digital serf - paying your lord for using land (devices), I would much rather prefer the choice to not be one.

That way, you can opt into digital serfdom and people like me can opt out.

Serf here isn’t pejorative, but descriptive. Apple is behaving like a feudal lord. Down to the claims of protecting the land and arbitrating disputes.
