Can't we simply re-organize the fedoraproject website in such way that the
download button points to something similar to the current "More options"
page, maybe with a small description for each desktop like "easy to use" /
"feature rich and customizable" / "based on the traditional desktop" /
etc
and possibly sorted by popularity, i.e. number of downloads?

Maybe it should be something like "defaultless" desktop. Just install
Gnome and display desktop ballot screen "Yes, we know that Gnome 3 sucks
for 85% of population. Here you got an alternatives."
