keep in mind that linux started and still is a server os primarily. DEs started out for the developers to have the ability to have some GUI on the side as well

Absolute nonsense. Unix GUIs and workstations predate Linux. The X Window System was first released in 1984, the Motif widget toolkit in 1989, and both were alternatives to existing proprietary GUIs. The workstation landscape was a Wild West before Windows prevailed.
