    IMO, if choice is being prioritizes over more important things like sustainability, then yes, there can be too much choice. Economies of scale, efficiencies of scale, etc all work better when you’re only producing one type of product. This is more applicable/important in some things than others, and the amount of choice should vary accordingly.

    For example: There’s a reason the Soviets built so many identical apartments in their affordable housing program, it was use the budget to build more housing and accommodate more people, or build more varieties of housing for the sake of being different, but less overall.
