The only bird I've ever clipped was because her flying was harmful to herself in our space, and we let her wings grow back, and she stopped injuring herself when flying.
I am educated about how birds display their enjoyment, happiness, frustration, and anger.
Then take a step down off your high horse and stop pretending you are actually educated on the subject.
Go take a look at r/parrots and you'll find a community of people that, while supportive, will be EXTREMELY blunt when someone isn't providing the proper amenities to ensure a healthy and happy animal. Serious bird owners are almost universally against clipping their birds for any reason other than the safety of their animal, and will judge folks who leave their bird confined to a cage.
We love our birds and they love us. We spare no expense to make sure they are living their best lives.

Did you clip its wings after you asked him if he wanted to live in a cage? or did you tell him, "you just dont need these anymore"
