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...

The new user often has to choose their DE regardless. This just moves it from the webpage where they're presented with 3 or 4 different "distros" with different names for some reason, all under the same ISO, which I would argue is far less confusing (especially if presented with the relevant information during the install).
