If you’re happy with that proposition, then why not just have one price for every commodity?
Forget brands, just tins with white labels that simply say “soup” on them, no need for Heinz, Baxter’s or Batchelors or Tesco’s own.
Let’s just have make and model of car………and call it a Lada for old times sake.
Choice is overrated, we just need one of everything, that’ll be much simpler.

I think you may be over simplifying/drinking too much vodka
But as far as electric/gas is concerned it's all very similar out of the pipes/wires. Why you pay different depending on which area of the country you're in or which company is bizarre. The OFGEM price cap does effectively mean most will now pay paying very similar high prices, with choice getting restricted by the day.
Go on I'll say it. Nationalise it, with the same price for everyone rich or poor, Shetlands or Cornwall, paying the same rates. The railways are going that way so why not energy? Tragedy of the current system is that the poorest with pre-payment meters pay most. Dickens would have had a field day...
