This is very interesting confusion that makes me want to write an article to address it. In fact you have reached an intuitive but completely backwards conclusion. In situation of no scarcity, called abundance, one does not choose, even if can get on jet and go to private island for weekend, because by definition of abundance one can also simultaneously stay home and eat ice cream while watching Netflix, and doing whatever else one wants too.
As you might suspect, it is the poor, not the rich, who most need to make choices. The rich can have this and that, whereas the poor can only have this or that.
Is pointless to say that one does not have choice because of lack of something. One does not have choice to go to Mars due to lack of rocket ship, but at same time one does not have choice not to go to Mars either. One’s being on earth is no choice at all!
