I think, the devs wanted to create something which is completely new and
different than other old DE/OS behaves. Lets think about Mac OS X, from the
beginning they have many things different than Linux DE (infact different
from Windows too), for example the close minimize maximize button is in the
left side of the title bar, and the global menu, the mac dock etc, none of
these are available in any DE's default installation (but yes, you can
customize of course). So I guess, GNOME devs wanted to create something like
this, which is totally different than others.
