Calling any desktop or window manager on Debian "default" is a bit odd, but I guess you are the one that's smashing my inference that no one would bother to run Gnome on Debian. More power to you. Have an upvote.
The Linux desktop was divided so many times and conquered as a result. I'd rather applaud those that try to unify (pipewire, xdg_desktop, ...)
PS. I usually enjoy your contributions (even when I don't agree). Keep it positive.

It's pretty convenient for new users (I install my Debian without anything and later the packages as I don't use all the KDE programs that come along with this checkbox).
I also can't remember a different distribution being so flexible on install time to ask the user which desktop they want:

Well, popcon seems to show exactly what I originally said - the vast majority of Debian users don't install Gnome and won't be affected by this change. I'm not sure why stating a simple truth like that would cause animosity, but I guess that's par for the course in this forum.

Who knows how many actually run it you could look up the popularity-contest stats to see what the usage is, seems to a few options to check.

For extra fun you can install them all together and in parallel.

Long life to Debian, the only Linux distro usable by everyone. Despite others always try to pollute its packages
