Another version of Windows... they really should consider reducing the amount of versions instead of increasing it

Same with linux distros. Variety is unproductive.

Counter argument, variety is choice, choice is freedom. (not strictly true, you could have only the illusion of choice and freedom, and other arguments, I mean I've written essays on choice ...)

Most distros are geared to different things like Arch Linux is bare-bones...etc. You are correct that there are plenty of distros where the main difference is the default desktop environment like cinnamon or kde and that isn't super helpful and fractures the community.
