If they could have logistically pushed for more than seven seasons, and this was a choice of Benioff and Weiss alone, the alternative was "make more than seven seasons".

Emphasis on the word "choice" not "action":

What I want to know is if this was due to the actor contracts being up, and their hands were tied, in which case it was not "a choice".

I don't understand you; are you saying that even given unlimited resources of time and money, it would have been wrong to split the two books across two seasons? (not one then the other, but stopping in the middle)
