Should they also be able to opt out of the font stack Apple licensed, and bring their own free font garbage?

Opt out of the battery controller and encryption libraries, to roll their own for cheap?

You're now talking about things (software) that cause Apple to incur no marginal cost. It's not unreasonable at that point to expect that they choose between allowing you to decline the charge for them and do without or provide those things for free.
