The set of "things that behave in a classical way" is zero. If you are talking absolutely, no approximations. There is a small bit of information contained in classical mechanics that is not in the universe, that's why the predictions never manifest with 100% accuracy in reality. An actual classical object is just a thought experiment, and the laws of it are thought experiment, that exist only in your head and nowhere in actual reality.
It's kinda like the idea of the unicorn, an idea off in it's own little space. The only difference is, classical mechanics approximates the world whereas unicorns do not.
If what humans have is just an approximation of free will, then the molecules of the universe are moving about in a pattern that has a very very close resemblance with free will, but on an absolute level, considering all the details, it is not free will.
Meaning what we experience at any given moment is a mix between free will and not-free-will. Like how you can say quantum mechanical objects behave in a mix between the disembodied idea of classical physics and behavior that is not-classical.
In a way, that almost makes more sense. Even in our experience of free will, at least for me, it never feels 100% free, I'm not saying "I'm so lazy lol I don't have free will", I'm considering just one instant of time. It's like at every instance in time, you are thinking one thing that you control, but your body is thinking another thing that you don't control, and these two things are necessarily intermixed with each other.
