What actually matters regardless of the assumption of free will, determinism, or compatibilism.

Each subjective experience for better or worse.

Each subjective experience for better or worse is what is REAL, and in subjective realities, freedoms are non-ubiquitous. There is no such thing as equal opportunity or capacity among subjective beings.

All beings are bound by their subjective reality, its circumstances, and realm of capacity at all times. Some infinitely more so than others. Of which is always contingent upon infinite factors outside of any assumed or self-identified volitional "I".
