You’re not allowed to use it after downloading it for free unless you use it on Apple hardware that it paid for. If you don’t have Apple hardware you only have a file you’re not allowed to use. Paying for Apple hardware pays for the license permitting you to use it.
That’s like saying that using a fixed cost subscription service is free because you’re not paying at the time that you access it.

That doesn’t mean macOS costs money. Just the Apple hardware. It’s really weird that you can’t tell the difference between a piece of software and a piece of hardware. What’s worse as you think I have the same trouble you do.
macOS is free. Just because Apple hardware isn’t also free doesn’t mean macOS isn’t free.
