I agree with you 100%, but I think you are conflating two different things. What number 12 talks about is having too many choices for one thing. E.g.,

* Too many themes

* Which of these 10 apps would you like to open the text file with?

* New Word document, what kind of document (lists 40 choices)

What you are really talking about is #34. Designers trying to make it simpler for mobile end up reducing functionality.
