I think that's only a problem if reported bugs don't get fixed. If such bugs are fixed, shipping everything that builds aligns well with building a community-tested distribution.
Exceptions could be software that leads to purchases of some kind, based on an incorrect assumption of Fedora support due to the existence of the non-working package.
Well, that would exclude a lot of hardware drivers, and make Fedora pretty useless. (You cannot realistically test Fedora on all hardware on which users want to use it.)
You dropped too much context here. Drivers which are rottenware (Panu's term) are exactly in this category. We can only hope that upstreams remove them, based on feedback from the larger community.
Thanks, Florian
