I think it is safe to say that free will is solidly within the realm
of metaphysics and philosophy, and outside the realm of physics
proper.

How about a modification: free will is the inability to know for sure
what your eventual decision will have been, before it is expressed in
conscious thought and action.  It is not provable that the decision
was made any earlier than that point.

The moment you ask why superdeterminism selects a certain way is the
moment you stop talking about science, and start talking about free
will.
