Unfortunately you've based your argument on a false premise. There has
never been a requirement for accelerated graphics drivers in the default
install; the early GNOME 3-based releases implemented fallback mode to
handle cases where acceleration wasn't available, and later ones
implemented llvmpipe. If anything, Fedora was a driver for both
developments, and IIRC, Fedora did explicitly decide that it would be a
non-starter to ship Shell without some kind of cover for non-accelerated
systems.
