I mean, to each group their own, but 4176 is the total of all together, which is a very unfair way of presenting it.
You’ll never have to choose between all of them, or even a decent fraction.
While leveling up, you’ll have to choose between 4-8 class feats accessible at your level, and you would usually prioritise ones available from your current levels to those available beforehand. Plus, at some point many feats require prerequisite, which means you can cut down half of options you can choose from really. Same thing with the race feats, skill feats and general feats.
8 possibilites maximum at every level up might be too much for some people, but really isn’t in the same ballpark of having to choose between 4000+ every time.
Not the biggest fan that SF and PF are supposedly going to be compatible.
I don’t really like PF2.0, but Starfinder was decent enough.
Pathfinder 2.0’s and its 4176 feats get a hard no from my playgroup.

Imagine how this guy eats lunch, choosing from 14 million different foods each day.
