It's a "grander gesture" (quote me correctly pls) than an informal promise with a friend. Do you consider signing a lease or a mortgage to be the rough equivalent of a school bully putting you in a headlock?

No, because I can refuse to sign the lease and I won't get put in prison for that. Swearing a compulsory oath under threat of imprisonment in a sitiation you were forced to be in isn't any kind if gesture, it's just submission to coersion, nothing more, nothing less.
