For developers maybe but not for users :) And these are the ones you're developing for. And look at other systems accomplishing this very well. Like KDE which has a ton of options and they don't suffer this problem.

KDE suffers a quality problem that Gnome does not. I had countless bugs and random issues last time I tried KDE but I have pretty much never had an issue with the core Gnome desktop experience (the bundled programs are another matter). At first the lack of options on gnome bothered me but then I just accepted the default config and found that it isn't actually important to be able to tweak every single bit of layout and the default config gnome ships is actually really good.

  That’s abusive to users. They constantly change random things, and optimized the desktop for mobile regardless of if I’m mobile or not. I don’t want to be stuck with a crappy desktop environment that I don’t like if I left windows for the same problems, and I doubt most people want to be forced into someone else’s narrow workflow as well.

  >I had countless bugs and random issues last time I tried KDE Would you mind saying when was this? This is important as the KDE crew is delivering new features and bug fixes on a rapid cadence. So your experience from a year ago, might not be valid today. Also, a lot of the issues KDE suffers from are out of the hands of the KDE devs, as some issues stem form GNOME devs enforcing their agenda on the Linux DE community as the defacto standard on how things should work, leaving the KDE devs to fix the jank they create.

The statement about booleans is a total fallacy. In real life, this MAY be the case for some cases (to introduce a bug in some combinations), and totally harmless for other cases. It depends on the context. Even then, you cannot make the omelet if you don't break the eggs. That said, GNOME is one nice whole egg.
