Eh? You're not totally wrong but I think it adds a bit of replayability, which this game has but not a ton of right now. It's a decision that has good and bad aspects, but I think having a bit more player choice is always good, even if that means you can't see everything in a single playthrough. Plus it means the characters will act a little bit more, well, in-character, and the story is definitely one of the best aspects of this game in my opinion.
So yeah I get where you're coming from but I think the positives outweigh the negatives for me.
