Nobody ever says they want fewer options, but that's because it's never such a pressing issue as not having the one you want.
In a program I develop, I sometimes remove an option and people complain, then it turns out they were randomly tweaking that option to try to solve some problems that it was never going to solve in the first place. They just liked the feeling of being able to control _something_. So those are cases of bad options that should have been removed because they made it harder for people. People just can't help but try changing settings when something doesn't work, and hiding them in an "advanced" menu doesn't deter them. That's where all the most powerful settings are afertall! It encourages frustrating time wasting.
