Different ciphers have different tradeoffs (security/vulnerablities/performance/hardware acceleration/compatibility/newness/etc.).
Indeed, more choice means more ways to mess things up, more complexity, more bugs and more vulnerabilities.
That's why TLS 1.3 reduces the cipher suite choice to 5 ciphers, down from 37 from TLS 1.2 (in previous versions there were 319 in total) [1]
