Good review. You hit on the problem with most (maybe all) arguments
against free will. Namely, when the conclusion is applied to the
arguer it implies that the arguer has no ability to reach that
conclusion.

My experience is that people who argue against free will attempt to
just brush off this objection. They don't answer it. They simply
deny that it has merit.


There is no logical connection between free will and the ability to reach conclusions. Neither implies the other, therefore denying either doesn't deny the other.

And of course my objection denies merit to the position you espouse. Any criticism of the logic of am argument denies merit to that argument.
