Paul had plenty of choices, just the ones where he got his revenge on the Harkonnens all lead to Jihad or his death. He chose that road. He spoke of another future where he knelt by the Baron instead, would that future have led to jihad? Certainly it would not have led to his revenge. Its definitely an interesting setting and story. A cautionary tale of being wrapped up in your own myth.
Early on, he has visions of the Fremen worshiping his father's skull and revolting without ever meeting Paul. He can't avoid Jihad by refusing the call to destiny. The Bene Gessiats have been baking this cake for too long.
They're worshiping his father's skull within the memorial made by Paul. In those visions Paul still met them.
