It's not really a straw man, though. Just about every popular distro
doesn't make the user pick a desktop before they can download.
Simplifying download pages is something many distros have done, and been
happy with the results of.

You say to ask the excellent UI-oriented people: we did, and they
designed the download page. One of the things they explicitly wanted to
do was stop forcing people to make five choices before they could
actually download anything.
