Unifying around a single thing is not something FOSS likes to do.

This is not FOSS specific. In companies you can observe the same tension between the efficiency of unity and the flexibility of diversity.

I don't know, a lot of FOSS seems to have unified around Linux for whatever reason.

Linux is really 5 million different systems though. Debian or redhat (or etc)? Systemd or init? Bash or zsh? Gnome or KDE? X11 or Wayland? GCC or clang? Almost every single component has multiple choices.

There's an xkcd for that. In seriousness, I wish the same thing, but it's disruptive and thankless work to ask of volunteers
