Yes.
When I first started using Feodra, there were many packages and alternatives installed.
Then ubuntu came along and since it was a one cd distribution, it went for "best of breed applications" - not sure if it accomplished that, but since then other distributions were "forced" to make decisions. Fedora including.
And that was a good thing, the first time I installed a non windows operating system, I did not need to fight over multiple different browsers, text editors, terminals etc. I did not even know what a desktop environment was!
Could you please elaborate how "The one package by default" concept was pushed forward by Ubuntu?
Yes.

Choice is only good if you are informed enough to exercise it.
