What are some important freedoms that traditional freedom indices (Freedom House, Heritage Economic Freedom, etc) are missing? (note: I *don't* mean in the "real freedom means high speed trains, being safe and having public healthcare" direction, I mean like actual freedoms, but ones that usual indices neglect)

Real free speech in the sense that there are no illegal opinions. The US is one of the only countries in the world that meets that bar rn, but countries with whole swathes of illegal opinion (Germany, UK) rank higher on freedom house "civil liberties" than the US
