I disagree. To be precise, I disagree with the notion that our choices are ours, as you said and that they are not dependent on history. A choice is conditioned on a myriad of things, from whether you had your coffee in the morning 8 hours ago and the milk had gone bad, to whether your parents paid attention to you 20 years ago when you were a child. Literally everything matters because experiences shape our brain's structure and that is precisely one of the factors that need to be accounted for in some cases. Not necessarily what one's own brain structure is like, but other people's as well, so as to gauge and expect their reactions to our decisions. If the universe is Markov (which also means hidden variables as a means of predicting quantum processes which iirc was disproven except when said hidden variables were traced all the way to the beginning), then the current frame has enough information to fully describe all future states. However, regardless of whether it is Markov or not, we, humans, need history because it enables us to generalize and approximate the future because we do not have the capacity to peak into the exact state of the universe at any given point. While the process of making decision needs a short amount of time, the decision itself is conditioned on history and we need history to make predictions because we lack compute.
