It does, though I work in a financial place where optionality is an actual, legit phrase with a closely defined meaning. The number of people who run around the place using it when what they really mean is 'more choices' can be internally amusing.

'Can we increase the optionality on this report'... eh?

What they mean to say is, can you give them the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the report at a future date, in return for a small premium.
