Not this consumer. Choice is wonderful. Its partly why i love Linux. I hear talk of consolidation - but i think, short of making my own OS (which is possible and wonderful, if i wasnt lazy) there are so many options based on developer needs, i cam easily choose something fitting for...or choose two on different machines as i currently do.
Insofar as paid consumption (which i think you are referring to) choice keeps producers on point.
I guess an example, would be the things i cant choose..."Luma" the Canadian electric company that took over PR's electric - I still consistently loose power several times a week and get bill imcreases, but there is nothing I can do, because i have no choice :(
