Your so right. The fragmentation of the Linux desktop is the reason I think Linux will never play a bige role on the desktop.
The people in the Linux ecosystem fighting more against each other than against Windows - a common enemy (sorry for war rhetoric).
Linux is the ecosystem with the least resources, but with the most competition inside the ecosystem. You have more than 10 different desktop managers, two competing display servers, hundreds of distributions and whatnot. A lot of people will say, competition is healthy for the Linux ecosystem, but I personally would disagree. I think most forks are a waste of energy - yes, I am looking at you Canonical.
