That's missing the forest for the trees.
There is a difference between being able to choose between 15 tools and being able to choose between 15 hammers. The point of the article is that we just don't need 15 hammers -- especially as 10 of those are obviously inferior -- and the existence of 15 hammers is incredibly unhelpful.
