Everyone using the same client is a huge risk to the network.
One bad update, a single mistake, and Bitcoin network could become compromised.
Why are you against diversity of clients?
It really does not make sense to be against decentralisation, like, that's the whole fucking point of Bitcoin.
No central bank. Decentralised.

Actually Satoshi was also against "diversity of clients".
“I don’t believe a second, compatible implementation of Bitcoin will ever be a good idea. So much of the design depends on all nodes getting exactly identical results in lockstep that a second implementation would be a menace to the network.” ~ (Satoshi Nakamoto).
Now the question is which client.

👆 this!
There is WAY more 'systemic' risk in having only a single point of influence capable of making unilateral changes. The more clients capable of making changes only with respect to their de minimis sphere of influence, the better.
