Well the more original OP of the post would be a better target at least.
And all of what what you said is true, but in that analogy I would say my point you are free to not be this persons friend and not spend time in their house. You don’t have to convince them to explain themselves for your decision to not be their friend anymore to be valid.

I can walk away, sure, but the point is their excuse of “I don’t owe you an explanation” in this context is a dishonest deflection tactic.
If I lie to you, me saying “you’re free to talk to someone else” doesn’t change the fact that I lied to you.
Again I agree with those, but that being that case doesn’t make demanding engagement and such into good behavior. At best, it is unproductive.
