You're right in that nobody can force you to tip, but it's part of the unwritten rules for eating at a sit-down restaurant. By not tipping, you've said that you don't care about the agreement you've made by sitting at the table.
It would be like saying "nobody can force you to stop cheating at Monopoly." While technically true, you'd still be an asshole if you did it, because you're breaking the unspoken agreement that you made when sitting down to play.
