Another person, group, or organisation has power over you when they can reduce your options. Introducing a more attractive and unrivalled option isn’t a limitation “because now I will always choose that option” - it’s a beneficial addition to your list of choices.

Remember that you have power over yourself, meaning you can intelligently reduce your options if it positively affects your behaviour. Many people benefit from removing the core utility of money: its fungibility. By pretending they can only spend certain funds on certain things, like Christmas, they save enough for the upcoming event.
