I think the point of the article wasn't to argue which desktop env is the bestest, but rather that as far as canonical is concerned the desktop can go DIAF (except as a gateway drug for their server/iot stuff).

Since unity was partially based on gnome, they used gnome before, and somebody else (rh) keeps pumping resources into it, it seems like a natural choice.
