We feel we could have because our feelings are highly incomplete perceptions of the constraints we actually operate under, and even given that we still struggle with cognative dissonance created by also knowing we could not turn back time. so this directly points to the mechanisms for these feeling and perception having evolved to improve our chances of learning from experience to better shape some of the constraints that we can perceive were we to find ourselves in similar future transactions.
You evolved to feel you have free will because such a feeling gives you a slight evolutionary advantage by providing a slightly improved framework in which to learn from your experience. It is a mechanism for learning. It is not a descriptive mechanism.
You don’t have free will. You do have mechanisms for improving your decision making beyond learned conditional reflex through analysis of your experience, we call perceptions created by that mechanism by the misnomer “free will”
