Many companies and now projects have come to a realization: Customizability = Complexity = More Maintenance FOSS groups can’t really afford to have a bajillion options they need to maintain and test compatibility between them. Also, maintenance (especially for free) isn’t fun. |

There's truth to this but the extent to which it's true I think depends on how much the system was built customizability in mind.
So for extensive customizability to work without being a serious impediment to development, it needs to be a goal from the start, and most cases it isn't — it's more common for that type of feature to be bolted on further down the road.
