That world is terrible. Thank deity no one has the power to actually inflict and enforce their particular bankrupt oppressive idea of the one true world on everyone else.

Variety and change is basically the definition of life itself. Uniformity and stasis are pretty good definitions of death.

Kooky offshoots and dead-ends are not waste, they are the very definition of life.

Imagine a world without life? Sure, absoulutely do imagine that, so that you can understand how and why you would never want that and should never suggest it, and know exactly how to respond to anyone who comes along and tries to float this genius idea of efficiency.
