Given the limited resources for testing spins (and while there are vocal proponents of the Xfce spin, they rarely seem to step up to commit to do the extensive (and timely) testing required in the WG), removing this as a blocker criteria is likely the right choice (arguably the only rational choice).
64-bit ARM desktop, on the other hand, does deserve promotion to being a release criteria, as those are far more likely to be the choices of people moving forward (while one *can* still choose to purchase 32-bit ARM SoCs, and they are certainly the right choice for certain specific targets (I have a number of 32-bit ARM devices running, but none of them with any desktop installed at all (the cli rules!)), the price of 64-bit ARM devices is now sufficiently low that the future is 64-bit). Like it or not, Fedora, given its limited resources, is more about looking at the future targets (and sometimes the bleeding edge), and not about supporting every possible legacy piece of kit out there in a specific spin (you might actually have to install what you want after the fact).
