I still don't understand how you can't manifest that choice by simply purchasing a device from a different manufacturer. It's pretty disingenuous to suggest that Apple is some kind of authoritarian power that you have no choice but to purchase from.
To quote your linked comment, I wouldn't expect you nor any other sane consumer to purchase goods that are "made with toxic substances, not honor their warranties, lie on their marketing, and steal and sell your personal medical information". Apple does not do any of that, and I think that you're intentionally derailing the discussion by comparing their guidelines + practices to any of the above.
