This thread has now been running for several days, and no one has

Likely because the same distros that default to Gnome are also the ones
that pander to "newly ex winblows users".

I'm not that sure about that part.

And very few of that user base will even be aware of Usenet, much less
know how to post to the same.

More probably that part.

So we likely then get a selection bias in that the very fact we are
here posting means we are the "more technical" users (even the ones
posting here claiming they are not that technical).

Maybe because the usenet users aren't the most technical ones, but more
probably they are older than the majority of the other users. And I'd
say that Gonme is the Window Manager which looks the most like a
smartphone. The younger users having be raised with smartphone before
having used computer, maybe they are more comfortable with Gnome for
that reason.
