The debate over free will is complex and has been discussed for centuries. Some argue that our actions are predetermined by factors such as genetics and environment, while others believe in the existence of free will, the ability to make choices independently of these influences. Whether or not free will exists, human experience certainly feels like more than just following a predetermined script. Our perception of choice and agency shapes our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

to a certain extent yes but I feel like people abuse it a lot

Your life starts without your choice, you could see it as a row of dominoes, cause and effect.
However one could argue that everyone needs to subscribe to some semblance of agency, if not society goes outta wack.
Criminal law has the mens rea element to account for that, although increasingly in the justice system you start to see defences that argue that actions were out of the defendants control, increasingly separating them from their actions, stripping away their culpability bit by bit.
