It seems somewhat contradictory. "many just want a launcher" and "because of Gnome’s size and decades of development, they can also have the ecosystem that DEs like LXDE and Xfce lack" seem contradictory to me. They want just a launcher, but they also want lots of DE specific stuff (presumably widgets and the like).
The hostile reception KDE 4 got was more because distros made it the default too early. Activities are an optional feature you need to configure.
If the article was correct I would have expected Cinnamon and Trinity to be a lot more popular.
