That’s not what he’s saying. The statement is that he’s free to manipulate his computer as his property and since all the data that resides on it. There are exceptions to this, namely when it comes to infringing on the rights of others, but with the case of client side data the argument stands true.
The flaw in your thinking comes from not knowing that one can acknowledge property rights without the notion that anything can be done with their property.
