Because Fedora is a better OS than Windows, for example?
Really, don't assume that everyone places software freedom as a
absolute top priority. Some value getting as many free OSes (or more
specifically, as many Fedoras) out there as possible as they're
priority, and this clearly goes in that direction. Some believe in
making the best product, at the technical level, and competing as if
we were a commercial distro, which involves having the nicest User
Experience.
It's a matter of values, in the end. But since Fedora is made by
people, and not by ideals, I don't think with should value some more
than others (pun intended)
