I don't believe that anyone is saying that they are entitled to FTA; the reality is that the viewing audience is, at this time, voting with it's wallet and is drifting away from F1. As the article makes clear about the UK's audience, based on viewing figures since 2015, it is forecast that the audience number will have fallen by 80% when all live broadcasting goes behind the paywall next year.
Further more, the article linked to by the OP highlights some of the proposals from Liberty which are really no more than re-arranging the deckchairs on the sinking ship whilst the orchestra remain playing in the background.
Notable for it's absence is a proposal that drivers/cars are capable of overtaking each other.
