I was referring to the fact that many websites block / force users to use the resource in a certain way, why shouldn't they in return have the right to bypass these restrictions.

A residential proxy can not be used to bypass the restriction on JavaScript. Regarding the other items on your list, sure, a residential proxy could be used, but why do you need it? Why not a regular datacenter proxy?
This was a general statement, no need to nitpick every detail. DC proxies are not as accurate for geolocation, they are also often flagged as such or face higher scrutiny from bot protections.
Okay, sure, in theory someone could use a residential proxy to evade unjust blocking. Whether that has happened at any point in history or not, I'm not sure.
In practice, the vast majority of residential proxy usage would be for other (non-ethical) purposes.
