Something important to remember is, that Luthien gave up her immortality in order to bring Beren back to life.
Arwen was able to choose, because she was of the Peredhil. It is clearly stated that she had to follow Elrond into the west to remain immortal, but she chose to stay in Middle Earth and so she lost her immortality.
Idril was 100% Elf and had no choice!
