It's not based on any actual data. But I think people who install both
DE is not the majority. The goal of this screen is to be as simple as
possible, but people who want less simple package selection can still
select "Custom" mode.
The screen currently looks like this :

If we replace KDE and Gnome with check boxes, we still need the Custom
one to disable KDE and Gnome boxes. So I think it will make a more
complicate screen, for no clear benefits because it's already possible
to install more than one DE by selectiong custom mode.
