You nailed it right there: "free will" is a feeling. A sensation. Maybe the sixth sense.
In any case, I think we are calculating machines that make choices. We suffer more or less depending on those. Life is suffering, but no point in putting one's hand on a hot stove!
My guess is that "free will" feels good because it is a rationalization.
Everyone is logical, everyone is making logical and informed decisions, and so whatever result comes about is their intention.
No, in my view... most have no intention. They simply react to fears and desires.
