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.
