People are more likely to see, or want to see, order in the world. When things go "out of order," we call it chaos. It doesn't mean there is no determinism at all, but functionally intelligent beings have basically been "determined" to have capacity for choice, even when choices available appear limited. If Hitler had been raised under different conditions, one can easily assume he may have been different.
However, in authoritarian societies, despots and assassinations are not unpredictable.
