This is going to sound tautological but of course it's not the same, because it's different?
Participants in markets make their own choices from the available options, for their own reasons.
Another way to frame my point is this: not the same for whom? You are but one market participant, and it's at least wobbly thinking for any of us to assume that our set of needs is the archetype.
There's any number of harnesses and people have any number of preferences. Sure, overchoice of imperfect substitutes tends to entrench better-resourced, better-resourced (or better-marketed) alternatives, but it's not a slam dunk.
