Why else what?

It takes a long time to drag the mouse from the corner to another when
all you have is the nipple.

The experience isn't complex at all. Also a big portion of the userbase
will never touch the documentation and thus will never find out about
i2p. Having it under <advanced> menu in the grub is imo the best
solution.

What is a magic omnibutton?
I'll answer to the sections from the chat that I feel like I can answer.

Performs horribly on older hardware and is only targets the newbies, so
the powerusers who would like to use Tails have to set up their own
environments instead.

There are easier things to maintain than the goliath that is GNOME.

All of them perform a lot better on older hardware. In addition i3 is a
tiling window manager and a lot better for the more experienced user who
hates using a mouse, or doesn't have one.
