You chose your advisor in the first place. That's the moment when you chose more or less what to work on. That freedom was total.

And if there is no advisor there doing something you find interesting? Then you quit grad school, right. Since you are arguing total freedom in grad school, then the answer is that it isn't total.

Don't go somewhere that doesn't do what you want.

I'm not arguing that there's total freedom to go to grad school and do what you want. I'm arguing that no one is forcing anyone to be in grad school doing something they don't want.
