Last time I checked, Harald Reindl was not the only Fedora user in the
world.

Your argument essentially boils down to "I don't do this, therefore
nobody else in the world does, or at least nobody else in the world
needs to". That is not a particularly convincing argument.

Um. But weren't you just saying:

"if Fedora changes to more and more recommend "pip", "gem" and "cpan" 
like installs instead RPM packages it is no longer a distribution over 
the long because that would mean finally you have a core OS and handle 
anything else like Microsoft or Apple - does anybody really want to go 
that road?"

So...I'm finding it difficult to understand what it is you're actually
*saying* here.
