There is an assertion that follows from very general theorem directly and I do not understand if this assertion trivial or it may be of some interest. The assertion is enclosed below please comment

A Baire category is a mathematical concept used in topology to describe the properties of sets. It refers to the idea that a set is "large" or "dense" in a topological space if it contains many elements that are close together.
The Baire category theorem is a fundamental result in topology that states that in a complete metric space, a countable intersection of dense open sets is still dense. This has important implications for the structure and behavior of topological spaces.
In analysis, Baire category is used to prove the existence of solutions to certain types of differential equations. It is also used to establish the completeness of certain function spaces, which has important applications in functional analysis.
The axiom of choice is a controversial axiom in mathematics that states that for any collection of non-empty sets, there exists a function that selects one element from each set. Baire category is closely related to the axiom of choice, as it can be used to prove the existence of a choice function for certain types of sets.
While Baire category is primarily a theoretical concept in mathematics, it has been applied in various fields such as physics, economics, and computer science. For example, it has been used to study the stability of dynamical systems and to develop efficient algorithms for optimization problems.
