This has never been about the mere ability to do something, but about the ability to choose to do what you were presumably able to do regardless of who or what chooses for you to then do it.

The omniscient being knows you won't choose A. That knowledge presupposes that you don't have a choice in the matter. You have not been stopped from choosing something else because you didn't have the option of making that choice to begin with. You won't choose A because you have no such option. You can't choose A because you have no such option. The key here is that in this imaginary scenario, it's the omniscient being that has the knowledge of what you will do, not you. Simple enough for you?
