While it does mean death to many, it also means that millions or billions have, with their free will, chosen God. A close second is that love is only possible with free will.
God has chosen to limit his omnipotence in favor of free will.

No, i think we're ignoring the rationalizations of a believer.  He must have chosen free will over love, also.  Or, at least what normal people call love.

Since to love God would require free will, how does it make sense that he "chose free will over love"? What you seem to mean is that God chose the goal of having us freely choose him over our a world where we would have blissfully existed but incapable of love. If so, I agree--that is what he did.
