Do we need another desktop environment? There's already KDE Plasma, GNOME Shell, Xfce, MATE, Cinnamon and the list goes on for a while. System76 at least seem to think another is needed, one they control.

    “and the list goes on for a while” No it doesn’t, you pretty much name all of them, at least the ones with a decent user base.

    Next up: system76 builds their own kernel from scratch to guarantee compatibility with their hardware

      They mentioned using existing components to build the desktop (mutter and wlroots), so they are reusing some stuff .

    I don’t think that’s true. They already invested in customizing gnome and they know there are plenty of other DEs they can switch to. They don’t strike me as a super wealthy company that can direct resources for that endeavor.
