Cosmic DE update: System76's new Linux desktop environment

I think they are referring to the human resources part of the fragmentation issue: capable people working on yet another desktop environment.

The, perhaps unrealistic and naive, thinking behind this is that if these capable people combined their efforts into one desktop environment, we'd have one great Linux desktop environment, instead of several okay desktop environments.

Well, they are not starting everything from the scratch. And as you say, you can't have people with different ideas working on the same project.

Cosmic exists because Gnome devs have their own roadmap that many people dislike.

That assumes they would even in theory work together, or would have a design choice they can all agree on.

Yep, thus "unrealistic and naive."
