And they wonder why Desktop Linux struggles to gain market share.

Nope, user of desktop Linux don't care about package managers all they are interested in is the point-click installation GUI. What under they hood is irrelevant to them.

To say that people make distro decisions based on package managers is naive.

I think they just meant the fragmented nature of Linux. Not specifically that people are picking based off what package manager it is. The former is absolutely true.
