You need to setup say bspwm and dwm, sure, but i3 just works. Also if we are going to talk about most people, most people also aten’t going to deal with remembering keybindings. They will just want to click around, so Gnome is also inconvenient.
For clarification I’m not saying Gnome is objectively bad and you shouldn’t use it, however I personally feel like it falls short on some parts as a DE.
