Who talks about taking choice away? HN doesn’t offer it, just as it doesn’t offer all but the simplest layout, most emoji, gifs, embedded movies, etc.

Simplicity has its virtues, too.

Simplicity would be having tags to categories the posts. Just like a library has the Dewey Decimal Classification system -- if it were not for that it would be just a chaotic heap of books.

What if someone missed 3 months worth of posts and they want to catch up quickly... is that still a "small set of posts easy to scroll through"?
