On FLOSS the user can have a better fit on the configuration of their system, since the degree of control over the software is really up to the user.
Depending on the distro, the degree of control over what happens on your system is great. Even on the most basic distros, the degree of control is quite great since most of the most important features can be control by the user.
Having such control over what your system does, is important safe guard your privacy. Since there are many people interested on the data you have on your system, is important to be able to control how your system works and protects itself from malware.
Even if the user doesn't actually uses all the configuration options, those options should be there. There is no real reason for not including those options, or why the user shouldn't be able to have control over them. After all, the final word of what goes on the user's system should be the one of the user.
No other should have a say, other than to give information so the user can make a more informed decision on how to better configure his system.
Is our system, we should have the total control over it.
