Would that be a bad thing? If god had to choose your future with nothing to go on but his own desire, do you think he would assign you to hell? If yes, he sounds terrifying. If not, then we risk hell by being given the chance to screw up the perfect future. If god is the greatest being in all of the universe, a kind and loving father of unequaled intellect and generosity, then I think I'd much rather he decide my fate before I get a chance to stumble into eternal torment.
No one has to stumble into eternal torment, God made an easy, simple way to walk away from that fate through His Son. You want t work with an assumption that God wouldn't have anything to work with but His desire, God answers this question in the NT by saying He desires no one to enter eternal punishment. He doesn't want people to spend an eternity with Him if they chose not to, that would be a punishment in itself and would allow for corruption in heaven, so this is all taken care of through our choice. Besides life is far more than deciding where you will spend eternity. God's great generosity cost His Son much, all for us.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
