 Free will absolutely 100% does not exist, but assuming more usefully we mean the ability to become consciously aware of the act of making a decision, well, it also extremely varies person to person. I think the born with it thing is nonsense. I have a memory of my youth of realizing my own existence and I'd say that moment defines when I believe I became 'conscious' in a tangible way and thus became aware of decision making and the 'freedom' to make those decisions.
