Rabbi Avigdor Miller, tzl states that anyone, like Paroh, can have his bechirah taken away by HaKodesh Barchu in certain inyonim. How that relates to Acher, ben Dosai and others, I don’t know.
I’m not familiar with ben Dosai, but I always had my own thoughts on the other two cases.
Pharaoh’s free will wasn’t taken away from him — rather it was restored to him.
Acher’s free will to do teshuva wasn’t taken away from him — rather the bas kol said that even if he did do teshuva it would not be accepted. (I have problems with this approach too, but that’s for another time).
