I don't know many people using Linux that don't change their desktop background(s) and icon sets to something different from the default. If they don't, they either like it or wouldn't care whatever desktop look you throw at them.
If they don't like it, and wouldn't know how to change what they see, they're not likely to use Linux anyway.
Either way, I see mostly irrelevance here.
Screenshots are useful and interesting for new GUI tools, remarkable DEs, and fresh window wobbliness, but they're a waste of bandwidth when it comes to a bunch of silly icons and wallpapers.

Is this a reason not to do a good job offering a decent look & feel for the default desktop? Windows and OS X do, why not Fedora?
