KDE is free

Zorin is a smooth clean aesthetic, and GNOME has that integration into everything, making the system feel polished. So when a user transitions to Zorin you can stay on same DE and have it windows like, and later choose 1 of the 4 styles of interface without tweaking.

KDE Is amazing for customization, but with Zorin being so focused on being a polished UX, GNOME makes more sense.
