You would always be free to do x but you would always freely choose to do not-x, and vice versa. All possibility of sin and the attendant punishment would be removed without the abrogation of free will.

If I understood correctly, you're asking why does sin get punished in the first place, why not just allow it?

No, I'm asking why God doesn't eliminate sin when it is within his power to do so.
