Is catching up on your work email after 8pm really freedom from your job?

The text starts "Freedom!", meaning that he can do whatever it is that he wants. That he chooses to engage in work emails doesn't make it any less free, IMO.

I love my (non-Google) job and love my family. So, I'm happy on Fridays when focus changes to family, but I also often love Sunday evenings when focus turns back towards work.

Not everyone has a dreadful, barely tolerable job...

Having boundaries does not mean your job is barely tolerable. Nor does a lack of boundaries mean you are better at your job or appreciate it more.
