But the claimed phenomenon here is that it's (almost) always easier for you to come up with a solution to someone else's problem than for them to do so, not just that some problems are easier for one person than another. There are problems with this claim, I think, but the absence of free will is not an explanation, or at best just reduces it to the question of why, granting the claim, the determinism (almost) always leads to this bias.
(For that matter, nothing in the linked article depends on whether or not we have free will.)
