Would Intel produce processors as good as they are now without the pressure of AMD as competitor? I do not think so.
Was/Is the rivality between AMD and Intel good for the customers? Mostly yes, but there where fringes. That is live.
Monoculture will kill it self. History has proven that.

Fully agreed. This whole "one tool per task" doctrine is one of the most dangerous things in linux desktop these days. It takes the choice out of users' hands and prefers solutions with PR tailored to manager ears over those users would choose themselves. It's what forces half-baked projects into distributions as the only choice not only before they are better than the old ones but even before they are good enough to use. And on the other hands, it doesn't give those new projects that don't have "friends in the right places" a chance for a fair competition. No doubt forcing LibreSSL on users as the only option would be bad idea. But so is forcing LibreSSL out of the distribution just because of some "one tool per task" doctrine.
