Distros do not want to bind people to a desktop env, etc. i have no need or desire to change that... so i, like yoz and others just set things up to run what we always use... :) no one said every user should go do this and write a systemd service/unit file and set up a user session login by hand. but we do. many of us do. it's an indicator that the functionality of a full login manager isn't as critical to us and thus we might prioritize other things ahead of it. > Thus you use a DM to provide a choice to the user.
