It's a bit cyclical-- quantum probability (if that's a phrase) is being posited as a potential source of freewill. If you need to reach outside of the quarks doing quirky things to say that some other phenomenon is influencing the probability of which quirky thing they do, well, you now are saying that freewill is not born of the quarky quirks, but instead just influences them. That puts you squarely back in square one.
I agree. "QM free will" only changes how free will operates; it brings us no closer to answering the question of whether or not it exists or where it comes from.
