I think, once Elros chose mortality, and married a mortal, it was simply two mortals, so all their children would also be mortals. That's why his offspring did not get a choice. They were already mortal. After all, as I recall, it was not really a choice of being mortal or not. It was a choice as to which kindred they would belong to, elves or men. The mortality/immortality perk simply went along with that real choice, the Gift of Men, or the immortality of the Elves.
