> I can't wait for there to be 7 variants of RPi 6 all with some nondescript name and none of which actually offer exactly what I need

So you think with fewer variants, one of those few is more likely to meet your needs? Doesn't having more variants make it more likely that one will suit you, or at least get closer?

This is the paradox of choice. If there is 1 option, a person gets it and it's not perfect, but it's fine. They know what they're getting and make it work. If there are a bunch of variants there is a greater expectation that one of them will perfectly fit the need, and they are always left wondering if a different one would have been better, and are thus left feeling unsatisfied.

Some choice is good. Too much choice is problematic.

This TED talk probably explains it better. https://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_the_paradox_of_choi...

For me it always lead to confusion, indecision and not buying anything when there’s too many choices

Yes, because being over-specced doesn't matter if it's cheap enough.
