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.
