Too much choice is a BIG Linux annoyance. Too much choice is as bad as
no choice.

I remember the first time I went to NY (I come from Spain) I was blocked
at a cheap restaurant by the hundred options they gave me for a simple
sandwich or a coffee.

Sometimes more is less. Linux is a good example.

I can't figure out how a decentralised open-source project can ever lead
to less choices and a better selection. Maybe "natural selection" is the
solution, but evolution takes time... :-)
