Hardly. The existence of a distro I don't like doesn't degrade my experience using a distro I do like. You may as well be upset at an ice cream shop for having dozens of flavors when you only like strawberry. Choose the one you like and ignore the ones you don't. It's not rocket science, even children can figure that out.

The problem under discussion here is not that of using a distro you like, but finding a distro that you like.

If an icecream shop only has one flavor, I might get lucky and discover it's the flavor I like. But more likely, I'll just be screwed and have to settle for something I don't like. Only an icecream shop with variety can hope to give the most amount of people an optimal experience.

Unless the ice cream shop provides you with hundreds of flavours, 90% of which are nearly indistinguishable from each other. And hardly anyone on this planet can answer a straight question of "Which flavour is good".

If they're 90% indistinguishable, how is that distinguishable from an icecream shop that simply has fewer flavors?
