In practice, at scale, in an ecosystem instead of a toy project, excessive choice is counterintuitively a bad thing.

It's hugely beneficial to have common ground and shared interfaces when integrating code from third parties, or collaborating across multiple teams.

A golden rule of large enterprise is that there is no "you".

As soon as there are two people working independently, not to mention different business units or teams, different choices will be made. Incompatible choices.
