You can only prevent something that has not happend yet, but maybe you meant reduce fragmentation.
But even if that were one of the goals, you could have different solutions trying to achieve it and thus choice which approach to use.
Of course it is nice for application developers when they only need to support one kind of a certain dependency, but it is common to support more if there is demand for that and more exist.
From what I gather there is demand but nothing application developers could alternatively support.
If we take the NetworkManager example: applications/desktop shells would have support for NetworkManager, some people would like to have an alternative but nobody would be developing ConnMan.
That would not be NetworkManager limiting choice, the lack of options would limit choice, no?
