It’s hard to imagine not being opinionated, it’s all just whether the opinion agrees with yours or not.
Drop down or radio button? It’s an opinion about which is better. Braces and semicolons or spaces and newlines? It’s an opinion about how to best format machine parsed stuff. Science fiction or fantasy being a better setting for your game, another opinion.
To the extent something might pusue being “unopinionated”, I frequently find it tends to erode value. Refusing to pick a lane or even a default means the user has to do so much that the user might as well have done it themselves from scratch. Even in the attempt, they end up with opinionated implementation and documentation, as it’s just unavoidable.
