Unlimited freedom may be attractive in theory but in practise one person's unlimited freedom can be an intrusion on others freedoms. Jack may appear to advocate unlimited freedom, he certainly didn't wish to be hampered by rules and yet he imposed his rules on others. He beat Wilfred for some unspecified breach of his authority, imposing his freedom to beat someone over Wilfred's right to enjoy his own personal freedom not to be beaten. Jack told Ralph not to intrude on to his end of the island and told Ralph to 'leave him alone.' Yet Jack had previously raided the shelters at Ralph's end of the island to steal Piggy's spectacles. Jack didn't want unlimited freedom, he wanted unlimited power over others, he wanted to curtail their freedoms and make them subservient to him.
