Interesting, and as the authors have given reason to doubt the "free-will-no-matter-what" explanation of the responses, I withdraw my intuition about what counts as intuitive.
I doubt, however, that this will be the last word on the issue. Indeed, in "Questions for a Science of Moral Responsibility", Fischborn writes, about this paper,
"In fact, people might even consider that free will is compatible with fatalism, a stronger version of determinism, as long as fatalism does not preclude an agent's actions to derive from their desires and values (Andow & Cova, 2016)" - my emphasis, as that seems to be begging the question in a way.

- naasking 5y agoYes, I think this just confirms the Frankfurt cases. Suppose the Holocaust was fated to happen. It seems reasonable to say that Hitler carried some responsibility for it regardless, while Germans who fought the Nazi party did not. But, I'm perhaps not a typical Compatibilist, as I think in a meaningful sense that we are more blameworthy the more deterministic we are [1].
