'Oh no, i get to pick the class/subclass/species/feat/item i want to use AND get to mechanically contribute on the same level that everyone else is, this game is ruined for me', it only reduces the meaninfulness of choices if you think that having multiple equally valued choices to pick from makes them less meaningful.equalising viability and effectiveness lets people focus on the actually important part when choosing options which is making their character how they want to make them, or to use a food metaphor, by your preference it would mean the size of our serving is determined by the meal we pick but they all cost the same price to order, the martials only have a small portion just because they wanted the soup, whereas casters have an entire buffet table, while what we're saying is why doesn't everyone recieve the same sized plate so everyone they can eat what they want to eat and still get a satisfying portion of their meal.yeah, but even if there are trap options for casters given that they're 99% spells it's generally significantly easier to swap one out if you discover it's awful, at worst some casters are stuck with it til their next level up and there's a vastly larger options of alternate choices to pick from when they do get to change it, some martial trap options are near entire subclasses it feels like or ones you can't back out of unless your dm lets you retcon your choice.</blockquote>
