No, I understand that restrictions are not freedom.

Maybe that is because you are looking at it as a developer, and not as an end user. It is the freedom of the end users that is being preserved.

No, that is exactly backwards. Since the GPL only prohibits redistribution, a developer is perfectly free to combine components as he wants for his own use. Or companies that can afford it can hire a developer to do this in custom code that is not redistributed. It's the end users that aren't developers and can only afford things distributed at mass market prices that lose any chance of benefits. They just never even see it.
