Yeah.
If you played it as "both minors", for example, you would be giving up playing 3NT (big loss) for some accuracy in which minor to compete to the 4-level in (small gain). If you want to offer a choice of minor suit games, you can bid 4NT. You really do need 3NT to play.

Hoi Jeroen,
If 3NT can be natural, it is natural.
Here it is definitely possible for 3NT to be natural, what else would you bid with KQ10 Qx AQxxx xxx? 5D is a long way off and most people don't play the double for penalties.
(By the way, in my experience, they don't always have 9 spades here.)

and the result can be plotted on a graph.
