Isn’t Debian an easy distro? I don’t get it. Debian defaults to GNOME, setup is easier than Windows, includes a software store etc. what else do people need?
Why do you say that? It defaults to GNOME, that essentially had everything out of the box that those ones you speak about have. GNOME’s default theme is also finally something decent.
I’m not saying GNOME is perfect, far from it, but at least they’re no longer using brown+orange as their default colors. Now lets see if they can fix the font rendering once and for all.
I think Zorin’s approach makes sense for people who don’t want to learn a new interface and don’t have a lot of technical experience. GNOME does generally already have a good interface, but I think a lot of non-technical people wouldn’t understand (or want to understand) stuff like shell extensions and GNOME tweaks.
I don’t think I would switch to it anytime soon, but I could imagine it being used in a university.
What does it do differently to any other “easy” distro?

Debian is hard to master for someone coming from Windows ^^
Plus, it’s pretty ugly without heavy customisation. Which ZorinOS (or Pop!_OS) ain’t :)
