It is a no-brainer that software must, in fact, have settings and the modern UX principles are heavily in the wrong.
Having too many options is a curse too however, so that doesn't mean that one should add options without thought nor that sane defaults are unimportant (in fact, they are extremely important). Like most good things in life, the solution is not in either extreme but in the golden middle.
