Topic: Why does God love deserts?

Every single piece of media, Bible included, he is always said to be coming in the deserts.
Is this because if you see greenery in a wasteland, you appreciate him more?

That's the logical explanation, but I'm mostly asking about the canonical explanation.

An interesting thing, Catherine: Yahweh was originally presented as a god of the "high places", rather than of the desert per se. His predecessor, Elohim, was associated with the Garden of Eden, suggesting bounty and fertility. Many natural oases mentioned in the Torah are named after the Canaanite god Baal, so you might actually be onto something with the idea of greenery in the midst of a wasteland.
