That isn't the illusion of choice. The illusion is giving you a choice and getting you to choose the one they want you to choose. In your case they asked you want you wanted, then ignored you.

Sure but imagine I'd done what they wanted. I'm making a "decision" and their happy because it was the correct one. Just because an illusion is dispelled doesn't mean it never existed.
