I still think the best choice is to replace the radio buttons with
checkboxes. I, for one, tend to choose both GNOME and KDE when I
install. This means selecting one DE in this screen and then later down
the line in SW, choose the second (or more) DE of choice.

To me, that resolves most of the arguments or "political tricks", as one
poster referred to it, and informs the new user that they CAN pick more
than one DE for their installation. Why should a new user be forced to
make a decision on which DE to choose when they haven't tried any of
them in the past? Let them install both and decide later, through
actual usage, which DE they like best.
