Agreed. However, an implication of awareness or knowledge is not part of the definition of the word "choose." People often make choices without any understanding about options, if indeed there even are any, as in "damned if you do, damned if you don't." Additionally, many computer users are either truly afraid to switch to something else, merely reluctant to do so, unwilling to go through yet another learning process or do not want to spend money on new software, as well as a litany of other good and valid reasons for sticking with they currently have.
