Because that still leads people to click that "Download Workstation" link
before even seeing the options. "I do not want to have to choose" should be
a concious choice, also considering that the mostly unconfigurable (by
design) GNOME is very likely to be the wrong option for anybody not in that
category. And besides:

Well, not quite, it is more like:
[LOGO Workstation (Download Now) (Learn More)]
[LOGO Server (Download Now) (Learn More)]
[LOGO IoT (Download Now) (Learn More)]
[LOGO Cloud (Download Now) (Learn More)]
[LOGO CoreOS (Download Now) (Learn More)]
Want more Fedora options?
Atomic Desktops (Learn More) ← no frame nor logo nor mention of "download"
Fedora Spins (Learn More) ← no frame nor logo nor mention of "download"
Fedora Labs (Learn More) ← no frame nor logo nor mention of "download"
Fedora ALT Downloads (Learn More) ← no frame nor logo
So you get offered a lot of (most likely) irrelevant (to you) options
(Server, IoT, Cloud, CoreOS) before even being told that there are more
options than those (and Workstation), the "Workstation" link does not tell
you that (even though those are clearly workstation/desktop-targeted options
too), and you also do not see the full list of options anywhere, but just a
list of lists. You actually have to click on "Learn More" after "Fedora
Spins" to even see what desktop environments are available.
