I'd suggest something similar, but in the opposite way you did, so I'd
be more confident on calling Debian "the universal operating system".

The worst connected parts of the third world is the exception to the rule. Requiring edge cases to download a non-default setup does not prevent Debian from being "the universal operating system". I am more concerned about appearing outdated and irrelevant to the more modern parts of the world. The default should be a "modern desktop" experience.
