The more interesting component is that black hole physics is almost an anti-free will zone.

Everywhere else in the universe with mass and energy you can do what you want (sort of). An event horizon throws a hard shroud over that and drastically reduces opportunities: your free will to use mass and energy is significantly curtailed (you must head towards the singularity).

I’m not sure free will has anything to do with it.

If you don’t have enough upward velocity to escape earths gravity, hitting the ground is also inevitable.
