To be frank, these are no benefits. For a potential user, it begs the
question: "Why should I care whether GNOME3 is "free", "accessible" or
"usable"? Millions of people use other desktops that are supposed to be
"less free", "less accessible" or "less usable" and yet these millions of
people do just fine. (And speaking freely, these can't stand against the
other important feature of a desktop: ubiquity.)
