But the idea of free will is effective. Many people just can't understand that their choices can be meaningful and can still be determined - it's important for them to believe their choices are meaningful, and therefore it can be useful for them to believe those choices aren't determined.
We effectively have free will because the consequence of free will (that our choices affect outcomes) is accurate. It's hard to reach the conclusion that our choices affect outcomes based on purely deterministic thinking (though it is more rational that way).
