Not to speak for Ted, but I think the issue isn't choice; it's the
confusion from calling the same thing 3 different names. "Choice"
would imply 3 different products. If Microsoft were to offer "Office
A", "Office B" and "Office C", and they were all the same thing
inside the box, that's hardly "choice".
