Too many choice can make it hard to decide, and make me go for best promoted and probably best supported, rather than most free. Time is the most valuable thing, and I wouldn't want to waste time trying to find support.
Also, we all know that infrastructures aren't free. There needs to be funding somehow, and getting voluntary sponsors aren't easy. Lock-in / bound-by-contract is easier.
