It doesn't change the gist of the argument you are making but as a
matter of historical record,  Fedora didn't really chose GNOME actively
even at the time of creation.  Red Hat Linux chose GNOME over
Enlightenment and FVWM back during the days when Red Hat Advanced
Development Laboratories (RHAD) was created in 1998 inorder to fund
GNOME development during the time when KDE was tied to a non-free Qt. 
Fedora Core 1 was basically Red Hat Linux 10 renamed.  Much of choices
are just inherited legacy.   Fedora didn't even have its own logo until
several releases later.
