A good reasoning. But rather negative in tone of voice. Gnome is not for you; good! Because there's lot's of choice: POPos, Mint, KDE, LXDE, iwm, and so forth

A good reasoning. But rather negative in tone of voice. Gnome is not for you; good! Because there's lot's of choice: POPos, Mint, KDE, LXDE, iwm, and so forth and so on. This is what OSS en Linux is all about: choices! freedom! Why not use one of the alternatives that fits your requirements better and praise that alternative?

Clarification: At least until the next release, PopOS is still very much GNOME.

  Certainly. As is Mint, IIRC. But those may solve grandparents' issue with "ignoring their feedback" or "poor quality and usability.".

    No, cinnamon is a fork of gnome but it's a heavy fork that has been diverged for a decade now. It's not really gnome anymore.

I think you are saying that only positive feedback is acceptable? If this is the case, I disagree. As for "just go make your own/ use your own", well, many people do. Personally I do use a different WM when I can, but still have to use GNOME from time to time.
