Apple has stated publicly that they consider jailbreaking illegal and void your warranty if you do it. It's only still possible because people keep finding holes in their code.
Your analogy doesn't work because the only way to open the door on your Apple house is to pick the lock.

Doesn't jailbreaking void your warranty?

Well, if the phone still works and you need something replaced under warranty, you can always factory reset it.
If the phone DOESNT work, then there is no way for them to tell that it's jailbroken in the store...
You're acting like: 1. Jailbreaking doesn't exist. 2. Apple is actively working to prevent people from jailbreaking their devices.
This is simply not the case. Apple is neither technically nor legally hindering anyone's ability to jailbreak their devices.
Your problem is analogous to complaining you ought to have the inalienable right to go outside, but you were born in a home with doors. But once you open the door, the world is yours for the taking. No one is stopping you.
