That may depend on if they are ignoring the choices or overlooking them. Ignoring choices implies a choice in itself, as you point out. Failing to observe the choices may imply primarily a lack of imagination. In that case, it would be failure of the intellect (one might say "soul") which is responsible.
If the person is actually consciously choosing to ignore (or, more likely, to discount) options available to them, then there are several possible culprits.
a) The person may be using semantics to define away choice, in which case it is again their intellect which is acting. For example, the act of arguing against free will and the existence of choice-as-such would be an intellectual act.
b) The person may be misunderstanding the meaning of choice so that they say "no choice" when they mean "no GOOD choice." This may be due to stupidity, of course, or to pessimism based on past experiences. My guess is that the majority of people who say they have no choices merely mean that they have no *good* options available to choose from, and in that appraisal of their life they may be very accurate.

Because they allowed their emotions to take too much away from the perspectless reality. Reality always has choices (many choices).

A person who sees no choices may also answer to his conscience.

It could be bio-chemistry. Some connection in the brain is not working properly.

a bad experience, because that caused them to give up and lose hope.
