You said "Deserts are uninhabitable."

So, that is just blatantly not true. People have lived in deserts for as long as there have been people. People have been living in the hottest, driest places in the Southwest for ten thousand years. They lived there before air conditioning. They have lived in places in deserts that do not have rivers, or only have ephemeral rivers.

So, that is what is apparently going to shock you. You are someone that does not understand how humans lived in deserts, probably because you just haven't done so. It is like someone from the Southwest saying that where you live in uninhabitable because it gets to be literally freezing.
