If consumers didn't want the products they wouldn't buy them. Any way, who was to decide what the iPods were actually worth retail?

It's like saying I'm being overcharged if I buy a laptop for $1499 when I could go buy one for $249. It's the consumers' choice what to buy and at what price.
The issue wasn't the lockdown per se, but that it was implemented via an update that blocked content that was previously accessible.
All those systems you mention started with lockdown.

Not that it mattered in this case: without plaintiffs they had no case anyway.
