Increased number of available #bitcoin mining pools is good for Bitcoin. Competition good.

One more pool is exponentially less important as you add more pools.

For instance adding 1 more pool when there are only 3 pools is a lot more meaningful than adding one more pool when there are 25.

At a certain point it doesn't really matter that much.

Competition is competition

It can even be considered worse for Bitcoin if there are already dozens and the one you add likes to censor transactions.
