Except, they don't. 

The desktops do not require an X server; they could be run remotely.
The desktops do not require a set of fonts; they merely require the presence
of a font.

So, it is possible (and has been done, and has caused bug reports) to just
pick a basic desktop group and not get the infrastructure you need to
actually run a local desktop.
