Why don't more distros use this method? (www.virtualizationhowto.com)

It's very nice to not have a dozen different versions of the same distro to parse through and figure out that are simply the same distro with a different DE. Moreover, very few of them offer this many options.

Cachy could be doing a better job explaining what the user is looking at here and who each of these is for. Pretty easy to sum up in 1-2 sentences...

I think a new Linux user shouldn't have to choose a DE, so starting with a distro which makes this choice for them is most likely better.

I mean that's a fair point but most don't do that either. Even supposedly-beginner-friendly distros (which this is not) like Mint don't do that.
