Choice with reasonable defaults sounds ideal to me. The suggestion that you HAVE to make all these choices is FUD.

To bring a bit more consumer psychology into the discussion, people love SUVs because they give them the choice to go driving off-road, driving in snow, etc. Those SUV owners aren't then suddenly overwhelmed each morning with the question "Should I commute to work or should I drive to Tahoe?"

Android is a flexible tool that allows you to make choices when you want to make choices.
