Agreed. Though I am appalled by some people I've spoken to who vigourously believe choice is a bad thing. I find it inconsistent as I'm sure if something like being able to only use one kind of ISP or search engine happened, they would say the lack of choice was bad, yet they don't apply this belief in free market equally across.
That said, the problem with competition in the art hosting service as we all know is that it's locked in and designed to punish people who try to move to where the grass may be greener. It is of course though their right to have a walled garden, it is their service on their server and they're not obliged to make it easy on people to leave. It's a tough nut to crack. :/
