For people who have Strong Opinions (TM) about wallpapers, the design
process is open: you could have been reviewing the candidates and the
refinement process as it happened, and providing (respectful!) input
there...

https://pagure.io/design/issue/669

for instance, the halftoning is a choice, and there were candidates
with more and less of it, and only a handful of people giving their
opinions...

I don't have an opinion on the artistic value of it (or any previous Fedora background), but functionally, it has a low quality appearance which many people won't look past, and it is busy with color contrast making it difficult to see desktop icons.
