Yes, most users don't care abut choice. Average shashdotter is not an average user.
Have you ever considered that sometimes parallel research and design can come up with better results?
Yes. There are advantages to having several approaches to the same problem and developing them in parallel. However, disadvantages far outweigh advantages. Having one single standard design is more important than having best design. Moreover, open source projects have very limited resources and it is better not to spread them among projects solving the same task. If projects working in parallel join, they are usually able to achieve more than each of them separately.
