I have installed many desktop files in my lifetime and I've never felt the
need to run this program. I would like to see some documentation for why
this is needed.

Sure, but "you need to run dh_desktop in every package" is not a
freedesktop.org standard. And we certainly won't make every package
containing desktop files depend on a GNOME base package. See #432851 for
similar discussions.
