a lot of those are more limitations of renting more than limitations of an apartment. if you own your place, you can put things on the wall, paint, and change appliances. also, you can definetely make a lot of changes in the space even when renting an apartment, even hang things on the wall, but you might need to cover the holes when leaving.
and there are HOA that would also limit what you can do with your property and put on your yard as well, so, while it is shitty, even owning a house doesn’t mean that you get the freedom to do what you want.
living in an apartment is definetely not for everyone, but it has advantanges (and disadvantages) over living in a house.
