Well, other differences usually go very deep into the details and are ultimately a matter of taste. It’s certainly not the case that all of these have a unique selling point, because well, they’re not products trying to sell themselves.

Cinnamon:
Very Windows-like (aesthetics and keyboard shortcuts)
one polished workflow
covers relatively many exotic usage scenarios relatively well
these blog posts are always just the repeating well-known comparision talking points (xfce: light, other: not). just like hundred other blogs.
Are live boot screenshots and RAM usage all there is about these DEs?
i would say the target reader is people who haven’t read all the other hundred other blogs
