As Don Armstrong already said, the Debian developers are *not* going to change the installer to add the option you keep yelling for. Just get over it.
The installer needs less, perhaps only choosing between network and physically accessible systems and installing ssh or a single default DE.
Being invited to use a CLI during the installer would be good for the health of new users and support all esoteric choices*, and if not desirable does this person care about what's managing their windows any more than what's doing their init? If they are is this because they are invited to think about the choices?
