We are talking about two different things here as far as I can see

* What is the primary driving force of Fedora development today?
   RHEL
* Who are the consumers?
   Many.

People frequently see RHEL as the only consumer and then argue that it 
is ok for Fedora to be driven based on only that requirements which is 
the wrong approach IMO>
