I would like to propose the following:
"Desktop selection dialogue won't have preselected any default value."
I strongly support your proposal, and I appreciate you donning a flameproof jacket and bringing it forward :D
If one thing is clear from the prior discussions, it's that we are a plural desktop community, and we should reflect that was well as we can.

I don't see how clicking a box makes installation harder - accepting the disk config is a much more demanding choice for new users. (One could argue, snarkily, that putting a new user in front of KDE is making things harder on a new user, but I won't :P )
I tried to raise this as part of the pull request over the redesigned desktop selection screen in YaST (and was shot down there too); I'd suggest we go a step further and feature more of our community- supported desktops (for which we have a number of high quality, well maintained options) that are currently relegated to a 2nd-tier choice.
I'd like to hear a good argument for not giving our XFCE, LXDE, MATE, Cinnamon, Pantheon, Enlightenment, Trinity, etc. communities equal treatment when it comes to desktop selection.
Let's define a process for presenting each desktop fairly, and let the communities who are up for it contribute the necessary content.
