How is compatibilism not a valid description of reality?

Only 3/22 free will skeptics said they 'live like they don't have compatibilist free will' in this poll https://www.reddit.com/r/freewill/comments/1gzcimg/free_will_skeptics_whats_the_role_of/

22 votes on a forum mean nothing, but they still give a clue that free will skeptics acknowledge they live like they have free will (similar quotes are available from Sam as well as Robert Sapolsky - 'I can only think like this a few times a month').

All this is perplexing to say the least. Compatibilism is clearly the accurate description of reality, the position we all adopt on free will. In fact, isn't this the claimed dividing line between fatalism and hard determinism? That everyone makes choices and has a role in their future anyway.

How is compatibilism some kind of semantics then, when it is clearly an accurate description of human reality?
