I would say there is a question from a developer perspective. The idea that more choice is better and makes one more free is a cultural one and not an objective fact. There is a point where one has too many choices and they become a real encumbrance. I think Barry Schwarz has done a good job of describing this phenomenon. I think Vasco is also brings up another valid argument. Not all choices are equal and some are not even actually choices. Either way you want to look at it, one can honestly make a sensible and consistent argument that more software does not automatically mean more freedom.
