I'm curious to hear thoughts on this. I agree for the most part, I just wish people would see the benefit of choice and be brave enough to try it out.

That's not mutually exclusive with the author's argument, though.

if a computer vendor offers multiple distributions to choose from, the problem of choice remains.

And if the vendor only offers one option, which one should it be? And how can a user verify that it's a "good" option?

It wouldn't really matter, does everyone wonder if the Android ROM they're running is the best and if they should install a different one?
People do notice how good or bad they are, but that's it, at most they'll switch to a different vendor next time they buy a product
