By that argument you could justify any restriction of peoples freedom.

Ultimately if the state chooses to provide such services, then it must accept the costs that come along with it.

Yes, few restrictions are off the table. In reality, people don’t want more restrictions than necessary, so it’s usually not a problem. Here we even had resistance to mandatory helmets on bikes, settling for a law only for children.
