Again though, you make a valid point that I’m a little more forgiving of the unlikelihood of panpsychism. It’s not exactly the same but it is really ****ing close.

It's exactly the same because both theism and panpsychism rely on a lack of information for validity.
The rejection of free will is because you don't think choice can be congruent with influence.
Edit: I'd argue that choice is dependent on influence.
