You're right, as far as you go, but that's not all there is to it. 
Unless the developers are only interested in creating something for 
themselves, they need to take the opinions of the end users into account 
at least enough to make sure they're creating something that other 
people will want to use.  If, for example, a poll were to show that most 
people who currently used Gnome wanted to be able to specify which 
workspace a window would open on, it would be foolish to implement a DE 
that didn't allow that.
