What would make retribution make more sense? The point of punishment, in my view, is to change behavior. It demonstrably does that; operant conditioning works by applying punishments and rewards. If we don't have free will now, why and how would adding free will change this? If changing behavior isn't the point, then what is?
You think we don't have free will, right? What would change if we did?

I agree, revenge is pointless. I don't think the existence or nonexistence of free will changes that.
