Turkey has been in a customs union with the EU for more than 20 years, all without(at the moment) freedom of movement.

Ah ok. I think there is some confusion on my part here. You meant things will continue as normal during the transition period, I thought you meant we had committed to free movement as part of the basis for the future deal.
I would say that 'visa-free' travel isn't the same as free movement. Travelling, i.e you going to France, without a visa is not the same as having the right to live and work in France. In the EU free movement is considered to mean the latter although you also have 'visa-free' travel too.
