No. Options are a passive feature, they are hidden away in a menu. When software pushes decisions onto its users it's almost always a manipulative method to bully users into giving up their rights or money. Like apps spamming you with ads to push you towards a premium subscription, or the cookie popups on websites, or Windows pressuring you to register an account. All those negative examples are not problematic because of choice, but because corporations don't want users to make the right choice.
