You're probably reading the old definition of {.ei}. Its use has
changed
somewhat to make it more useful so that the three examples I gave are
now exactly what you want, that is, they aren't really about obligation.
Where is this new definition? I worry that I'll be misunderstood if
everyone reads ".ei UI1 obligation attitudinal: obligation - freedom".
You shouldn't be misunderstood if you use the most common interpretation, which is that {.ei} means "ought to"/"should".
You can always check the BPFK definitions (which are technically not yet absolutely finalized, but which are not extremely likely to see any drastic changes either):
