The Devuan installers are also not Linux newbie friendly, but I really like the TUI based Devuan Server installer and then choose a desktop environment as one of the last steps.

I chose Devuan because I am interested in not having SystemD.

Debian is also good, but for ease of use and installation I would usually recommend Linux Mint Debian Edition to a Linux Newbie would wants to run Debian.

So I am guessing the reason is that some Debian derivatives have an an installer that is easier to use and understand than Debian itself.
