As the KDE SIG, we don't feel strongly about it. We have always recommended
installing from the KDE live image (which gets you a KDE-only system too),
and IMHO that should still be the recommendation.
Personally, I think this way of presenting things is quite silly, but still,
it is an improvement over previous UIs where you had no viable desktop
selection at all. (You were able to check the desktops' groups, but all the
application groups were defaulting to GNOME apps and GNOME was also checked
by default.)
