If the xfce iso didn't exist, people in these situtations would
not be able to install a usable Debian system.
I see a solution that would satisfy everybody: whoever is interested

Wow. So the people who do not have many resources should either (a) use
what limited resources they have on making an ISO image or (b) screw
off because "first world" people have better things to do.
I bet you also think that those people in developing nations should
learn your language (even though their education is extremely limited
as is), while those who have enough luck to live in a country with a
great education system have no responsibility to use that education to
learn another language.
I think Debian's official ISO should appeal to as many people as
possible.
While GNOME has many qualities that make it appeal to the blind or
non-english speaking, it is one of the biggest DE's, and that makes it
less accesible to poorer people.
