No, you are correct. At current free will does not exist for any functioning human being because no human, to my knowledge, has been raised in complete solitude. And I don’t mean human interaction here but rather a completely empty space, think: a boundless white room. Thankfully agency does exist, but only in relation to both the past and other coexisting entities with the ability to affect their external reality.

That person would still have an intrinsic biological nature they didn't choose, and even a boundless white room is an environment that has an effects on it's occupant.
I'm actually a compatibilist, but just saying.
