Exactly. Ive been doing this a long time. My dogs in the kennel free feed. The moms in the house free feed. My pups start to free feed at 4 weeks. And, there is always food in the bowls. No issues. No aggressiveness. I have never seen this. This particular pup was fed along with a dozen more, twice per day, and not sure there was enough for all. I know they were fed every 12 hours. He seems very well socialized otherwise, a cuddle-bug.
