Is non intervention in the name of enabling free will really the greatest good god could do

This has more to do with theology but here goes nothing. Many theologians say we can't detect God's presence because him intervening would mess human free will.

So my question is is enabling free will always the greatest scored more good than stopping evil actions.

My next question is do we live in a world where everyone is truly free. I'm not debating every world is real rather I'm debating the capacity in which we're able to freely make decisions.

To me we live in a world where might makes right the strongest military is the most powerful politicians make decisions on the behalf of the rest of the population.

So to me it looks like god didn't put us in a world we we could actively act on our free will.

It seems politics geography has a bigger part in determining what we can and cannot do.
