You make a good point, there are definitely things that can be compromised in the name of choice.
Though there have been cases where it isn't story related and negatively impacted the "game", for instance in Mario Maker Nintendo decided to speed up the rate of new tool unlocks, which arguably led to a lack of focus in user generated content as players were overwhelmed with a toybox of tools.
Yeah I think anything that effects controls/graphical effects and camera, the more player choice the better.
Anything else can be closely curated by the developers to see through their vision in my opinion. It's not changing the content of the meal just how you eat it lol.
