Yes but what if you need to set up a computer for public use at a community center or a library or something? You shouldn’t expect the visitors to know your custom config. Until there’s a tiling WM that also has GUI elements that enforce the principle of discoverability, I think off-the-shelf DE’s are the only viable option for this usecase.
TBH both gnome and KDE are broken piles of crap. Cinnamon and XFCE are the only good DE’s left out there (at least for xorg, idk about wayland).

Of course custom configs are not suitable for anyone but the config-urator. Hence, custom configs :D
XFCE and Cinnamon its in the Desktop as a experimental option
Last time i tried XFCE, i had a terrible experience
But that might be because i was playing minecraft with 300 mods on a laptop that could barely open the launcher
