Agreed, and there are other cases as well. My approach is to apply a
gentle pressure every time a new plugin of this type appears. I'm
sometimes successful. Having a general guideline on this (never
duplicate a plugin, always merge) would help implementing it, even thugh
someone could be unhappy with it.
All the best.
